Carolyne Odour has told the BBC she desperately fears for the fate of her two young sons who went missing two months ago with their father - a follower of the teachings of a notorious starvation cult leader. Ms Odour says that amid an ongoing investigation into more deaths linked to the cult she has identified her husband's body at a mortuary in the coastal town of Malindi. His corpse was found in July in the village of Kwa Binzaro, inland from Malindi and near the remote Shakahola Forest, where more than 400 bodies were found in 2023 in one of the worst ever cases of cult-related mass deaths. Ms Odour is now awaiting the results of DNA tests being carried out on more than 30 recently unearthed bodies. I felt pain. I barely recognised him. His body was badly decomposing, Ms Odour, 40, said about her husband Samuel Owino Owoyo. She believes her sons, 12-year-old Daniel and nine-year-old Elijah, travelled with their 45-year-old father to Kwa Binzaro at the end of June. Self-proclaimed pastor Paul Mackenzie is currently on trial over the so-called Shakahola Forest Massacre and has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter. He is alleged to have told his followers they would get to heaven more quickly if they stopped eating - and there have been concerns he has been in touch with his followers from jail. Ms Odour says her husband started listening to the teachings of Mr Mackenzie four or five years ago. He changed and he didn't want the kids to go to school, she said. When the kids would fall ill he'd say that God would heal them. He really believed those teachings. Two months ago on 28 June, the situation took a turn for the worse when her husband went off with their two youngest sons. He told me he was going to his home village [of birth]. The last phone call we had he told me, 'We have gone, God be with you.' And I told him, 'Have a safe trip.' But Ms Odour started to get suspicious when he did not contact her again. She later found he had not gone to his parents' village in Homa Bay county, which is also near Lake Victoria, around 200km (125 miles) south of Mudulusia but taken a bus and travelled over 900km east to Kwa Binzaro in Kilifi county. After informing police and spreading word to locate them, she received a call that someone matching her husband's description was in the Malindi mortuary. The news was devastating - she confirmed his death in person on August 19th. His body had been found in bushes near a house suspected to be linked to the starvation cult and appeared to have died by strangulation. Following an investigation, police arrested 11 people connected to the case, including followers of Mr Mackenzie. As searches for more bodies began, the community faced disruption as the forest was considered a vital resource. Ms Odour waits agonizingly to discover the fate of her sons, mourning their absence and the lost opportunities for their education.
