Sooa’e, though satisfied with the manner Salamasina had treated Ulualo and his men, remained anxious to lay her hands on Leifi and Tautolo. To this effect she had secretly sent out some of the Musumusu warriors to capture them, but somehow the astute orators escaped. Sooa’e thereupon informed the Queen of her failure and requested her permission to have the traitors pursued to the bitter end. Salamasina, convinced of their guilt, said, “You know what is best; I leave it to you.”

Sooa’e then assembled the leaders of the army and the fleet. When they heard that Leifi and Tautolo had been the instigators of the trouble, they swore that they would not rest till they had brought the traitors before her feet.

It was arranged that the Salevalasi warriors should attack Aleipata early next morning, while the fleet should cut off any retreat by sea. This was done, and both Leifi and Tautolo were caught, brought abject before her with their hands and feet bound in Samoan fashion.

For thirty years Sooa’e had been convinced that the two had slain her husband Matautia, but not until now had she been able to prove it.

She ordered a few warriors to carry the prisoners to Aumua, the very place where her husband had been buried. Then, the wronged and vengeful woman ordered a pyre to be erected over Matautia’s grave. When it was complete, the two assassinator traitors were burnt alive. While they burned, Sooa’e could only think and wonder if such a speedy death was perhaps too merciful, insufficient punishment for the many crimes they had committed and all the misery they had brought upon her and her family.

The very names of Leifi and Tautolo have fallen into disrepute, for they have been changed into Fuataga and Tafua, which are now borne by two well known orators (matua) of Aleipata.
