Kenyan authorities have commenced autopsies on over 100 bodies of members of a religious cult who starved themselves to death.
It was gathered that the investigators exhumed the bodies of 10 children on Monday and found signs of starvation and in some cases asphyxiation.
The Christian-based cult was founded by Paul Mackenzie Nthenge, a former taxi driver, who has been in police custody since April 14th.
