The youth of the town brought a priestess to Kafaba and during her spiritual exercise, many residents, including late Demetie, arrived at the scene to also observe but she was identified by the priestess, Sirina Fatima as a witch which she denied.
Madam Demetie was later forced to drink some concoctions before she was tortured and carried home where she died.
