Four people are dead and 11 others are in the hospital in Kilifi, Kenya, after being told by their leader to starve themselves to “meet Jesus”.

The authorities received a tip off the day before by a worried local about a dozen people starving to death.

The tip-off was about ‘ignorant citizens starving to death under the pretext of meeting Jesus after being brainwashed by a suspect, Makenzie Nthenge, a pastor of Good News International Church’, a police report said.

The four who died, three were men and one was a woman.
