His dangling body was later discovered in the forest during a  search organised by the people of the community.

“The youths of Bashua had combed the area with the aim to arrest and hand him over to the police only to discover his dangling body in the forest”, The Source was told.

According to sources, the man had been suspecting his wife of engaging in adultery and had always, reportedly, warned her to desist from the act.
