Carolyne Odour has expressed deep concern for the fate of her two sons who went missing two months ago amidst the shocking realities of a starvation cult in Kenya. She identified her husband, Samuel Owino Owoyo's, remains in a mortuary following his disappearance while traveling with their sons, 12-year-old Daniel and 9-year-old Elijah.
The discovery of Samuel's body in Kwa Binzaro, a location linked to the ongoing investigations into mass deaths related to the cult, has left Carolyne traumatized. She is now anxiously waiting for DNA results from over 30 newly unearthed bodies, hoping against hope for her children’s safe return.
Under the leadership of self-proclaimed pastor Paul Mackenzie, the cult has driven individuals to extreme beliefs, resulting in tragic end-of-life scenarios, including allegations of strangulation among other victims who were urged to starve for spiritual fulfillment.
Carolyne's husband became engrossed in Mackenzie’s teachings, leading to ominous changes in their family life, especially regarding education and medical treatment for their children. Carolyne’s heartache turned to desperation when Samuel left with Daniel and Elijah for what he claimed was a trip to his home village but instead led them deep into the heart of this unsettling cult’s influence.
Now, as the situation in the coastal area continues to unfold, with authorities conducting searches and excavations for more bodies, Carolyne faces the agony of uncertainty regarding her sons’ whereabouts. The exhumations have unearthed many remains, amplifying the fears of families across the region.
In response to this terrifying situation, Kenyan officials are discussing implementing stricter religious regulations to mitigate future tragedies emanating from radical cult activities. Carolyne remains hopeful yet anxious, noting the heartbreaking reminder of her missing sons every time she sees children in school uniforms, reflecting her enduring pain as she grapples with an uncertain future.
