Kwa Binzaro: New horror unfolds as 13 fresh graves discovered, 11 deaths confirmed

Homicide detectives on Friday returned to Kwa Binzaro in preparation for the planned exhumation of eight graves that had been discovered late last month.

But as they mapped out the existing graves, they made even more grave discoveries. In scattered sections of the five-acre land secured for investigations within Kwa Binzaro were even more graves

A total of 13 fresh graves were discovered in the excursion into the crime scene.

Kwa Binzaro is near Shakahola, the scene of a religion inspired massacre that left more four hundred people dead, a majority of them children.

The discovery of the fresh graves also brings to 11 the number of deaths in the new Kwa Binzaro tragedy. Human bones could be seen in some of the graves, believed to have been dug up by wild animals in the area.

It is believed that the deceased could have been starved to death, in a manner similar to the Shakahola massacre.

Unlike what transpired in Shakahola, the graves in Kwa Binzaro are concealed a bit better deep in the bushes.

Detectives led by the Director of Homicide Martin Nyuguto indicated that the discovery of the new graves was made possible by confessions from some of the suspects arrested from the area, that has now been designated a scene of crime.

Authorities are also searching for more suspects still in hiding.

Families of those who are missing and are suspected to have moved to the area are now being encouraged to come forward to provide DNA samples for identification once bodies are exhumed.

It is believed that these victims could have been members of Good News International, the cult associated with Paul Mckenzie,the alleged mastermind of the Shakahola massacre.
