 The next day , Standish arranged to meet with Pecksuot over a meal in one of Wessagusset 's one @-@ room houses . Pecksuot brought with him Wituwamat , a third warrior , an adolescent boy ( Wituwamat 's brother ) , and several women . Standish had three men of Plymouth and Hobbamock with him in the house . On an arranged signal , the English shut the door of the house and Standish attacked Pecksuot , stabbing him repeatedly with the man 's own knife . Wituwamat and the third warrior were also killed . Leaving the house , Standish ordered two more Massachusett warriors to be put to death . Gathering his men , Standish went outside the walls of Wessagusset in search of Obtakiest , a sachem of the Massachusett tribe . The Englishmen soon encountered Obtakiest with a group of warriors and a skirmish ensued , during which Obtakiest escaped .
