What happened to the Kashi witch doctor?
According to the village elder, it was alleged that the boy may have died at the school. When the teachers realised what the boys had done, they took them to the police station.
When police visited the home of the witch doctor, they discovered that he had run away with his family, and now they are tracking his phone number. They have since talked to the boda boda rider who carried him away with his wife.
There were speculations that the boy said he had given the phone to his sister, and a number was given, but it has not gone through up to now.
When the villagers learnt what had happened to the young man, there was unrest, but they were asked to calm down, as that was the only way they could establish what had transpired.
The witch doctor is said to hold the answers as to what made the young ones react in such a harsh manner.
