Some of his victims are also said to have been strangled to death.
Police said Ms Maweu is Mackenzie’s “human resource manager”, hence an integral piece in the investigations.
So far, 110 bodies have been exhumed in the 800 acre land with police suspecting that many more could still be buried in the fields.
Police suspect that some of the deceased persons could have been killed by the cult.
