The seven persons were also remanded in prison custody.
Already, the Anambra state police command continues manhunt for other suspects involved in the dastardly act.
The police commissioner Mr. Echeng E Echeng disclosed this during a courtesy visit by the Ultimate Business Women and Farmers Association of Nigeria on Thursday in Awka, the state capital.
Echeng said those involved must be made to face the full wrath of the law stressing that need to protect the dignity of womanhood.
The National President of the Association Hon Nkiru Nwagbo in her address stated urged the command to ensure that the perpetrators are brought to book while expressing the happiness of the body over the handling of the matter by the police so far.
Similarly, we also express our appreciation to your office in the manner you protected the dignity and respect for womanhood in the Aguleri episode against the widow that was maltreated by her in-laws
“We have implicit confidence in the command that the masterminds are brought to book to serve as a deterrent to those whose stock in trade is the brutality against women.”

Nwagbo also extended the association’s willingness to partner with the Police Officers Wives Association (POWA, adding that the interface would go a long way in empowering the women in the area.
As the year’s mother’s day is being celebrated we have plans to empower at least two women in each of the twenty-one local government areas in the state and to work with the Police Officers Wives Association POWA in this regard; she said.
“To achieve this we have been interfacing with faith-based organizations, charitable associations who have indicated an interest in working with us,” she stated.
“Sir it would not be out of place given your fatherly position in the state to accord you the respect of being one of the fathers of the association and if granted, a date would be fixed for your investiture.”
“Finally this body would not fail in extending our modest assistance to the command in the area that you so desire as long as it would help in the protection of lives and property in the state,” the group said
