Molori is Piet’s cousin. Molori is from Tiragalong, and was very close to his cousin until, one day, Molori’s mother fell ill. Molori called on a dishonest bone thrower to tell him what was wrong with his mother, and the bone thrower falsely accused Piet of trying to poison Molori. Molori became scared and angry, and he and a few other men murdered Piet by stabbing him.
