criar raízes
Explanation:
Este é a tradução da phrase. Agora, o pouco que temos de contexto não explica muito bem. Pode ser a ideia de realmente enterrar alguem, e tambem pode ser no sentido de establacer-se. To put down roots tambem significa establacer-se num sitio (neste caso talvez por meio de matar alguem - meu Deus!)

Notes to answerer
Asker: É mesmo estabelecer-se, pois a pessoa em causa está numa casa de família (em ruínas) e está a limpá-la, com o intuito de ficar a viver lá. Até agora, ninguém morreu, mas é uma questão de tempo :-) Obrigadíssima, era mesmo isto que procurava!
