Shakahola deaths: Air hostess quit well-paying job, donated Sh7 million to church

Beatrace Anjete Charles quit her 11-year career as an air hostess last month and relocated to Shakahola to join Pastor Paul Makenzie's denomination. She relocated with her sister and niece and joined their mother who was a long-time follower of Makenzi.

According to his brother-in-law, Abbas Ntunde, Beatrice booked an air ticket from Nairobi to Malindi on April 8 and took a matatu direct to Shakahola.
''Together with my wife and three-year-old daughter, they left our Nairobi home without a word and traveled to Shakahola village in search of the pastor and his church," said Ntunde, adding that their mother had been living in Mackezie's land for the past one year.
