She called her sister to intimate her of the incident and her decision to report to the police.
That same evening, Evelyn was strangled to death. Her body was covered with a blanket and the room locked up. Wisdom absconded after putting a phone call to Evelyn’s father informing him to pick up his daughter’s corpse.
