Doomsday cult leader Paul Mackenzie and 30 of his followers have appeared in a Kenyan court to face charges of murdering 191 children.

Mackenzie and the other suspects did not enter pleas in the coastal town of Malindi because High Court Judge Mugure Thande granted a request from prosecutors that they undergo mental health assessments and return to court on February 6.
