Eighteen year-old Alahope is mourning her husband who died two days before. Although he appeared to die of an unexplained sickness she believes he was murdered - by a sorcerer who ate his soul and body. Now, she and her Aunt Dup want revenge and are urging their men to kill the sorcerer. What happens to an alleged sorcerer? Our people tell us with relish and in chilling detail of their encounter with a previous sorcerer a few months before. They ambushed him with arrows, carried his body parts back into the bush and ate him.
