    A family in Malindi is appealing for help to burry their four family members who died in Shakahola forest after being followers of the former controversial ‘pastor’ Paul Mackenzie to fast to heaven in Kilifi county.

    The bodied of the four members were kept at Star hospital Mortuary ahead of Friday burial .

    The family were handed over four bodies on March 26 by the government after their DNA matched with family members.

    The four are members of a GSU officer who quit his job to join the cult together with his wife and children.

    In total the family lost 8 family members with four still missing.

    Coast Times Digital has established that the four missing bodies belong to the family of Shakahola deaths whistlebolwer.

    Titus Ngonyo said they are burrying four family members including his wife, son (the x gsu), daughter in law and grandchild.

    The family at Myeye area of Malindi sub county is currently conducting fund drive to help in raising the money for burial expenses.

    In a bid to make plans easy Ngonyo said that they were forced to dig a single grave with four chambers so as to reduce the costs.

    He said that they have so far not received any help from the government as promised from a budget of 350,000.

    “So far we have managed to raise Sh250,000 and we have a deficit of Sh100,000 ahead of Friday burial,” he said.

    He wondered why the government is not helping families who are unable to take their loved one for burial.

    “As you can see it is currently raining and we have only one tent for mourners with no chairs together with other requirements . We need government to help us,” he added.

    Any well wisher, he said can send contribution through 0795511345 to help the family that is overwhelmed.

    The Shakahola deaths that shock the nation has left many grieving across the country with Edward Mambo a neighbour saying the community is mourning the loss of the family members which is a big blow.

    According to Mambo funeral expenses are turning out to be very much heavy burden for the families with government giving it a blind eye.

    “We are asking the national government to come out and help because this was a national disaster that should be handled like others,” said Mambo.

    More families are receiving their belovedone bodies for burial once DNA confirmation is out.
