About this person
The outbreak of the conflict saw families offer to smuggle him out of the town for his safety, which he refused, saying that he would not abandon his people in their hour of need. But liberal insurgents - who saw him as an instigator of the assassination of a leading national politician - burst into his church and took him to the central square where he was lynched and mutilated.
