The priest was supposed to have struck two women with a very heavy weapon like a iron hammer.

Not just a street robber or raper as a person who happens to meet a stranger.
There is a memo that was put down by one of the street residents.
It is he that worked as the agent of the underground in this village.
Probably, he used to steal into a pit directly under the floor of the priest house.
He may have whispered, "Now go out with your hammer. 　The very chance you ride the soft cloud. 　The chance to be seized at the 　price of three hundred million passions pu on."
Later, a Yemeni sings, "The simple people who want to grasp birds or even clouds and dreams by their own hand. 　I am a traveller 　　from the past where people know how to get the dream."
Anyway then he might have turned a heavy opium eater.
At last, he was not investigated and punished for the above suspicions. 　The authorities concerned never thought him a criminal.
Really he did not do such violences. 　We had better think so. 　Nobody knows who did if there was any such atrocity.
