Dozens tried for Kenyan cult massacre

The World

Dozens of people are being tried in a court in Kenya’s Mombasa county for the massacre of hundreds of people last year. The deadly event centers around the Goodnews Church. Victims and prosecutors say the church’s leader, Paul Mckenzie, took people’s belongings and convinced them to starve to death in a forest. It’s bringing up questions about how Kenyan authorities should be regulating religious organizations. Host Carol Hills speaks with The World’s Africa correspondent Halima Gikandi, in Nairobi.
