‘I fear for my sons’: Mother awaits DNA results on remains linked to Kenya’s starvation cult
A mother in Kenya anxiously awaits the DNA results on remains that are potentially linked to a notorious cult known for starvation practices. The woman, who remains unnamed, expressed deep concerns about the possibility of the remains belonging to her two sons who disappeared years ago and are suspected to have joined the cult.
The grim discovery was made in a remote area of Kenya, where authorities unearthed several sets of human remains. The cult in question has been under scrutiny for its controversial beliefs surrounding extreme fasting and self-purification rituals. Members of the cult are said to adhere to strict guidelines that often lead to severe malnourishment and even death.
The mother, torn between hope and grief, is desperate for closure regarding the fate of her missing sons. She revealed that her sons had shown interest in the cult’s teachings before vanishing without a trace. While she remains hopeful that the DNA results will provide answers, she fears the worst and struggles with the idea of losing both her children to such a tragic end.
Authorities have yet to confirm the identities of the remains or establish a direct connection to the cult. Investigations are ongoing, with forensic experts working diligently to unravel the mystery behind the discovered human remains. The cult leaders have not issued any statements regarding the situation, maintaining a veil of secrecy around their practices and beliefs.
