After the robbery, all the money was kept in the company run by Shaino, which was near the house. The police found the money from here. They also found the stolen gold buried in a small pot. Shaino was brought home and to collect the evidence.

The robbery took place on Tuesday evening when the priest and his wife Sally were on their way to church. 48 sovereigns of gold jewels and Rs 80,000 were stolen. Out of this, 21 sovereigns were found in the alley adjacent to the house. The accused opened the cupboard using the key kept under the bed and stole money and jewellery.
