The story is based on the affair and the murders by Father Mathew Pieris, priest of St. Paul's Church, who was later "condemned to death by hanging" for the murder of his wife and the husband of his mistress.
Kisahnya berdasarkan pada perselingkungan dan pembunuhan yang dilakukan oleh Romo Mathew Pieris, imam Gereja Santo Paulus, yang kemudian "dihukum mati dengan cara digantung" atas dakwaan pembunuhan terhadap istrinya dan suami gundiknya.
