Guess what: she may still be alive

Credonia may very well be the most prolific female mass murderer in the recorded history of Africa
"As a young woman, Credonia was obsessed by fire. She had torched the possessions of a man who had failed to acquiesce to her romantic desires." UNMATCHED thirst for fire and blood

Credonia had her own merry band of henchmen, which she called her "Apostles".
They killed with unquestioning loyalty, and after the blaze at Kanungu, she killed them too and dissolved their bodies in sulphuric acid. Walter White who???

Are you wondering how on earth she managed to keep her followers in line? She instilled fear and terror. The people who got sucked in were isolated and held hostage.

Every commandment was twisted and hyper intensified.
Thou shalt not have sex ever.
Thou shalt not speak at all.
Thou shalt not eat.
Credonia and Co. starved members to make them delusional, suggestible and easy to control. Kids were even punished for eating bugs when starving

"Even as her reign of terror came to a close, Mwerinde got on a local bus to search for every last one of her followers, making sure not a single one could ESCAPE"- IMAGINE

....Credonia remains at large. Interpol issued arrest warrants but no real search has ever taken place.
Sightings have been reported in neighbouring countries of Congo, Tanzania and Kenya.
It's very possible that the witch lives.
