A witness has told a Mombasa court that she buried three of her six siblings who perished in the Shakahola Forest.

While testifying against controversial pastor Paul Makenzi, Ms Israel Veronica Amanya told Mombasa Chief Magistrate Alex Ithuku that her siblings were identified using her DNA.

She said her late siblings, Eja Amanya, Lorna Zayuni Amanya, and Britson Amanya, were identified after she provided saliva samples for a DNA test.

The 20-year-old woman also identified her father, Enos Amanya, her mother, Ann Anyoso, and her uncle, Daniel Amanya, who were in court facing charges alongside Pastor Makenzi.
