Cult Leader Convicted in Mass Child Starvation Deaths; Officer's Surgery Interrupted Body Disposal

A doomsday cult leader in Kenya has been found guilty of murdering 190 children and one adult, after allegedly ordering his followers to starve themselves and their children to death. Pastor Paul Mackenzie faces 191 murder charges, with the verdict marking a grim conclusion to a case that has shocked the nation. Meanwhile, in Australia, a court heard that a police officer accused of a double murder underwent surgery shortly after the alleged killings, before attempting to dispose of the bodies.

In other crime-related developments, an Oregon man who fatally shot a school shooter reportedly had military training. Separately, Mississippi's attorney general ruled a fatal police shooting of a one-year-old baby as 'justified,' a decision that has drawn significant controversy. The child died when officers fired into his mother's vehicle while responding to a shoplifting call. Additionally, four individuals were arrested in Nottingham after a police officer was shot in the foot, and an online marketplace has blocked French looters from selling stolen goods.
