The Kilifi County Government has received 200 capacity refrigerated containers from the Kenya Red Cross Society to preserve bodies from Shakahola, where dozens of followers of a cult fasted to death and were buried clandestinely.

The government began the exhumation of bodies from secret graves on the sprawling 800-acre property owned by controversial pastor Paul Mackenzie last week, Friday, April 21.
