Mass starvation murders in Kenya: cult leader gets 200 years
A Mombasa court also heard that 28 accomplices were sentenced, and the judge declined the death penalty despite prosecutors asking for it, citing the chance of rehabilitation.
A Kenyan court sentenced Paul Mackenzie to 200 years in prison: 100 years for murder by starvation and 100 years for direct homicide.
The trial covered the deaths of 190 children and one adult, who were starved or killed on his orders in Shakahola Forest.
Twenty-eight accomplices received sentences of 10 to 160 years, and Mackenzie's lawyer said he would appeal.
Prosecutors had sought the death penalty, but the judge declined to impose it, saying it would end any chance of rehabilitation.
