The city's governor tortured him, then sent him to Ansena, where he was further tortured and eventually decapitated on 8 Pashons.
The body of John of Senhout was shrouded by Julius of Akfahs, who also sent the body to Senhout, where it was placed in the city's church. Today, the saint's relics are in Shubra El Khiema, Egypt.
