After staying in police custody for more than one month, the controversial Malindi cult leader Paul Mackenzie and 17 other co-accused persons have been arraigned.
Last month, Senior Principal Magistrate Yusuf Shikanda allowed the police to hold Mackenzie, his wife Rhoda Maweu, and 16 other co-accused persons in connection with the deaths of over 240 persons exhumed from Shakahola forest.
The DPP and the DCI had requested at least 90 days to probe the suspects but were given 30 days which lapsed on Friday.
