The Mombasa High Court is scheduled to deliver sentences on Pastor Paul Mackenzie and 28 co-accused individuals in connection with the Shakahola killings. A total of 191 counts of murder have been proven against all of them. The Director of Public Prosecution advocated for the death penalty for Pastor Mackenzie, claiming it was the most fitting punishment due to the severity and heinous nature of the crimes.
Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Jami Yamina argued that the death sentence should be considered, taking into account Mackenzie's remorse, regret, and potential for rehabilitation, backed by Section 204 of the Penal Code and the Supreme Court's Muruatetu jurisprudence.
