Kenya Religious Cult Death Toll Surpasses 400

Since the initial discovery, authorities have led a months long exhumation project which has seen the death toll rise from under 100, to now over 400 with the total presently sitting at 403. And yet, the search is not over as Kenyan police continue their hunt for more graves.
