Late on Monday night, he says, one of the youths rang the bell for fun. There was panic on the hillside, followed by relief and rage when locals realized the young people had been joking. "They were looking for the boys to punch them," says Baul. But false alarm or not, no one in Kukundu is in a hurry to return to town...
