He said: “The surviving ones, a female and a male are aged seven and three respectively.
 
“I am telling the government that those who murdered my wife should be brought to justice, though one Sunday, a cultist claimed he killed my wife because people told him that my wife always talked against him, that he is a cultist and that is the reason he murdered her.”
  
Mr. Steward also told newsmen that policemen from Ahoada Police Division in Ahoada Council led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) visited the scene on Sunday evening.
