Police in Kilifi County have recovered 13 new graves at Kwa Binzaro, a village near the Shakahola area.
So far, 11 deaths have been confirmed.
According to authorities, this brings the total number of identified graves in the area to 21.
The village of Kwa Binzaro is located a few kilometres from the infamous Shakahola Forest, where over 400 people allegedly died from starvation in a tragedy associated with a doomsday cult.
Homicide detectives stated that they returned to the five-acre site to prepare for planned exhumations.
While mapping the grounds, police found the new graves scattered across the land, with some of the holes being shallow and human bones and skulls visible in some places.
According to the police, the newly found graves may be linked to suspected cult activity in the area by pastor Mackenzie.
