Cult members die – level 1

28-04-2023 07:00

A cult is a small religious group. These people follow their leader. They do not usually belong to any official religion.

Police find 47 dead bodies at a farm in Kenya. Police believe that these people belong to a cult. Its leader is Makenzie Nthenge. He asks his followers not to eat. If they don’t eat, they will meet Jesus. Many people die. Police find graves at the farm. Police believe that some people run away.

Search teams wear white overalls and masks. They are still searching the ground at the farm. It is possible that they will find more bodies.

Difficult words: religious (related to a god), follower (a person who listens to a leader and does what the leader wants), grave (a hole in the ground where a body of a dead person lies).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What is the leader of the cult believed to have asked his followers to do?
