More than 20 bodies were exhumed on Saturday, bringing to more than 200 the number of remains discovered since mid-April. The toll of the "Shakahola massacre" in a forest in southeastern Kenya, where a sect met, now stands at 201 dead.

Police believe most of the bodies found are those of followers of the sect of Paul Nthenge Mackenzie, a former taxi driver and self-proclaimed "pastor" of the Good News International Church he founded.
