Six additional bodies have been found in the exhumation of cult members in Kilifi's Shakahola forest. This brings the total number of bodies recovered at the mass grave site to over 260, reported by some local Radio stations.
Since the commencement of the operation, the government has made 45 arrests and successfully rescued 95 people associated with the Shakahola starvation cult led by controversial televangelist Paul Mackenzie of the Good News International Church.
To assist in the identification of victims' families, the government has collected a total of 93 DNA samples.
Currently, 19 families have been identified, while the number of individuals reported missing by their relatives stands at 613.
The government has further revealed plans to open security roads in every 100 acres of the Chakama Ranch as part of a comprehensive effort to aid in the systematic and scientific search and rescue operations, including the identifying of graves.
The government is also planning to convert Shakahola Forest site into a national memorial site.
