Exhumation of Bodies in Shakahola Forest Resumes

The exhumation of bodies believed to be of the followers of controversial preacher Paul Mackenzie resumed on Monday after a two-day break.

The exhumation is being conducted by a team of detectives from the Homicide unit, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), pathologists, and government chemists. The team is working to ensure that all of the bodies that were buried in the forest are exhumed.

So far, the team has exhumed 274 bodies from the 840-acre Shakahola land. The exhumation process is expected to continue for several more weeks.

The exhumation is part of an investigation into the deaths of over 600 people who are believed to have been followers of Mackenzie. The preacher is accused of convincing his followers to commit suicide by drinking poison.

The exhumation is a difficult and emotional process for the families of the victims. However, it is important to ensure that all of the bodies are exhumed and that the families are able to lay their loved ones to rest.

The investigation into the deaths of the Mackenzie followers is ongoing. The police are urging anyone with information about the case to come forward.
