Usage of ようにだそうだ


I saw this sentence reading some manga:

[code]

    自分たちで処分するようにだそうだ
    
[/code]

I think in this context it means "I heard you guys are taking care of it
yourselves".

However I am surprised by the way だ follows after ように. Is this just a
colloquial equivalent to:

[code]

    自分たちで処分するようにしそうだ
    
[/code]

?




> 自分たちで処分するようにだそうだ。

≒

> 『自分たちで処分するように！』だそうだ。

「～～ように」 is a little curt-sounding imperative-sentence-ender. (Teachers often
use it with students in schools.)

「～～だそうだ」＝「～～ということだ」＝「～～という[話]{はなし}だ」 These phrases are used to **_quote
hearsay statements_**.

So, Person A said 『自分たちで処分するように！』 to Person B and the speaker has heard it
from Person B (or yet another person who heard it from Person B).

= **_"I hear (or 'It seems') that (Person A) has said that we should handle it
by ourselves."_**

Your sentence 「自分たちで処分するようにしそうだ。」 does not make any sense, I am afraid to say.
