In 2000 the US Precher arrived in Kenya for his ministry.

It is alleged that at the time four Kenyans, including two young children, died at a religious meeting while they waited for miracle cures from a visiting American evangelist

The four had been released from a hospital to be cured at Benny Hinn's `Miracle Crusade'.

Ten other people suffered serious injuries including broken jaws after falling from trees they had climbed to get a view of the American preacher,

Hinn used to promise miracle cures from ailments ranging from AIDS to blindness hence gaining popularity in Kenya.

The Kenya meeting is the one in which Benny Hinn previously had prophesied that Jesus would appear on the platform.

Police have exhumed 20 more bodies at the 800-acre Shakahola land in Magarini, Kilifi County.

This brings the total number of bodies exhumed so far to 67.

The bodies were exhumed even as investigations into pastor Paul Mackenzie’s church-like cult intensifies.

On Sunday, one woman was rescued in one of the hideouts in a bad health state, witnesses and police said.

Of the bodies recovered on Sunday, three were in one grave, two in one and one in a single grave.

The grave diggers said they had also earmarked a grave with seven more people in the Sunday exercise.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki said he will visit Shakahola Village on Tuesday, April 25 even as he called on the Coast Regional Commissioner and security chiefs to reinforce the team currently carrying out exhumation at Nthenge’s land.

The CS called out the unfolding massacre of cult members as “the clearest abuse of the constitutionally enshrined human right to freedom of worship.”

He called for tighter regulation of religious entities including churches, mosques, temples, and synagogues across the country.

Police reported earlier on Saturday that Nthenge was on a hunger strike.

At the beginning of the exercise, the authorities had a total of 32 sites to dig up.

They had hoped to recover 32 bodies as per an informer who had tipped them off, police said. But they increased to 47.
