"Five bodies were exhumed from shallow graves in coastal Kenya, at a site near where more than 400 bodies of followers of a doomsday cult were recovered two years ago.
Government pathologist Dr. Richard Njoroge on Thursday said 10 human body parts were also recovered, scattered in nearby thickets at Kwa Binzaro area in Kilifi County, about 2 kilometers (1.5 miles) from the site of the Shakahola cult, and that the exhumation would continue on Friday.
The exhumation exercise, led by homicide detectives, forensic experts, and pathologists, also uncovered 27 suspected mass graves, raising fears that more bodies could be buried in the area as investigations into the cause of death begin."

" ... Domingo sat down with Josh Scherer on an episode of "Mythical Kitchen" which came out Tuesday (August 19). While sharing a meal, the pair were discussing how some celebrities seem to live secluded lives, almost "cult-like," after finding success in Hollywood. Scherer asked Domingo in jest, "You haven't joined a cult yet now that you moved to Malibu?"
That's when the "Euphoria" star admitted: "I almost joined a cult in Mexico City, but that's another story."
He went on to explain exactly what almost went down. "It was just a group of nice people, and then I was like, 'Wait a minute. This is weird,'" he said. "I was like, 'What's up with you guys?' This is my first encounter, but as I did research and found out more about them, I'm like, 'Oh, that's a cult.'"
After Scherer joked that they still "should join" the cult, Domingo referenced the podcast itself, asking: "Is this a cult? It might be."
Historically, Black people have been both victims and leaders of cults. Groups like the multiracial organization Peoples Temple (led by Jim Jones, a white man, with a 80% – 90% Black membership by the 1970s) and the Black Hebrew Israelite group Nation of Yahweh (founded in the late 1970s by Hulon Mitchell Jr., who called himself Yahweh ben Yahweh, was classified as a Black supremacist cult by the Southern Poverty Law Center), offered an escape from poverty and racism.
Some cults, especially those with Black leaders, gave members a sense of power and control over their lives in a world that often made them feel powerless. We're glad Domingo didn't join one so we can enjoy his talent on the silver screen, especially his highly-anticipated portrayal of Joe Jackson in Michael Jackson's biopic in 2026."
