The son obeyed his father’s instructions and went to inform the village elder that he was calling.

The village elder then notified the chief. Who rushed to the scene and found that the woman had already passed away.
The chief reported the incident to the Londiani police station. Where officers rushed to the scene, removed the body, and transported it to the mortuary of the Londiani sub-county hospital.
The pastor was also arrested and taken to the same station. Where the suspect was being held pending his court appearance.
