A Kenyan court on Thursday released on bond televangelist Ezekiel Odero who was detained last week as investigations started into the deaths of dozens of people said to have starved themselves to death on the instructions of a cult leader Paul Mackenzie.
Pastor Odero was arrested on Thursday last week, with Kenya's Interior Minister Kithure Kindiki accusing him of involvement in the "mass killing of his followers". The minister did not elaborate on the accusation.
