Four people were found dead on Thursday, and nearly a dozen others were hospitalized in Kenya’s coastal Kilifi county after being rescued while waiting for the world’s imminent end. Police said they found the group in a forest where they had been living for several days after being told by a local preacher to fast while “waiting to meet Jesus.”
The authorities said they rescued 11 people–six emaciated and in critical condition. Police said they would resume a search for more group members on Friday morning following reports that others were still in the forest.
The worshippers belong to Good News International Church, led by a local pastor on police radar for allegedly urging his followers to starve to death to reach heaven faster.
The pastor is currently on police bail after he was charged last month over the death of two children whose parents are among his followers.
