Un chef de secte kényan condamné à 200 ans de prison pour le meurtre de 190 enfants

–

Résumé neutre

Un tribunal kényan a condamné Paul Mackenzie, chef de l'Église internationale de la Bonne Nouvelle, à 200 ans de prison pour le meurtre de 190 enfants et d'un adulte. La sentence a été prononcée le 6 novembre devant la Haute Cour de Mombasa. La juge Diana Kavedza a imposé 100 ans pour meurtre et 100 ans pour avoir causé la mort par privation de nourriture. L'avocat de Mackenzie, Lawrence Obonyo, a annoncé qu'il ferait appel. Selon les enquêteurs, Mackenzie a exhorté ses fidèles à se priver de nourriture, eux et leurs enfants, en leur promettant qu'ils rencontreraient Jésus avant la fin du monde. Des complices ont battu et ligoté des personnes qui tentaient d'interrompre le jeûne, et certaines ont été enfermées dans des maisons sans nourriture ni eau. Le tribunal a également condamné 28 coaccusés à des peines de prison allant de 10 à 160 ans. Depuis l'arrestation de Mackenzie en avril 2023, plus de 400 corps ont été exhumés de fosses communes dans la forêt de Shakahola, dont près de la moitié étaient des enfants. Les procureurs avaient demandé la peine de mort, mais le tribunal a refusé, en partie par crainte que les membres de la secte ne la considèrent comme un martyre. Les réactions à la sentence ont été mitigées, certains la jugeant équitable, d'autres estimant qu'elle n'allait pas assez loin.
