Actually OP handled it pretty well, at least in the end . PC face consequences for their actions (a trial with the risk of being hung) and end up having to act to solve the problem. It's somehow created more game opportunities.

It's a world of gods that intervene with mortals, so a GM is perfectly justified in-universe in smiting any players who get out of hand.

But, sometimes it's more fun to let the players go. Especially if they keep the game and the table separated.

Cross lines in game, but keep the table clean? Then keep going.

Cross lines at the table, and the game ends until everyone has talked it through. And sometimes the game is just over.

This story sounds like it stayed in game enough, but may have been scratching at the table. Enough to pull back and talk for a moment, but not enough to kill the game.
