Violations Against Children by the Cult: Youth Suffered Most Severely
In a shocking revelation, a suspected doomsday cult has been discovered in Kwa Binzaro, a remote forested area two hours from Malindi. The discovery, made recently, has sent ripples of shock and sorrow across the region.
The five-acre homestead at the heart of the cult has been found to house children's items, including toys, and a baby's potty chair, suggesting that very young children were part of the cult's members. Further, infant clothes and bones of infants were found buried in one of the graves at the homestead. The discovery of an infant buried with an adult in another grave adds to the heart-wrenching tragedy.
The cult's beliefs led to the deaths of dozens of women and children due to starvation. So far, 32 bodies have been recovered at the Kwa Binzaro discovery site.
The individuals suspected of organising the cult include the cult leader Kwa Binzaro and several high-ranking members responsible for coordination and recruitment. Eleven people have been named as key suspects under investigation for alleged involvement in organised crime, radicalisation, aiding terrorism, and murder. Some arrests have been made in Magarini in connection to the cult.
Documents tabled before the Malindi law court indicate that the suspects in custody channelled money to facilitate their operations. This includes renting houses in Malindi where followers were offered temporary shelter and radicalised before being ferried to Kwa Binzaro. Detectives are now tracing the money trail in the Kwa Binzaro discovery case, as funds were used to bankroll radicalisation and transport victims to the forest.
The houses at the Kwa Binzaro 5-acre homestead were made of mud and iron sheets, raising questions about who was funding the operation.
In a bid to heal the community, Coast Region Commissioner Rhoda Onyancha has urged families and the community to accept and embrace members of the cult who were discovered.
Investigations into the Kwa Binzaro discovery are ongoing, and more arrests will be made. The tragic discovery serves as a grim reminder of the dangers of fanaticism and the importance of community vigilance.
