Fifteen “radicalized” Kenyan Christians were rescued on Friday from a fast which began after they were told they were going to meet their maker, but four died during the rescue mission, police said.
All 15 were members of the Good News International Church in the coastal county of Kilifi, police said.
“In the process of rescuing the victims, four of them died,” police said in an incident report.
Charles Kamau, the criminal investigations officer for Malindi sub-county, said the 15 had been radicalized.
“They starved after being radicalized by a certain member of a church told them that their work in this world was done… and they were waiting to die and see their creator,” he said on Citizen Television.
