The Ghana Police Service has said its own investigations led to the discovery of human remains believed to be that of the three missing Takoradi girls at Kasaworodo.
“Claims that a confession or tip-off led to the discovery are untrue,” the police clarified in a Facebook post Monday.
An operation carried out by a team of police personnel from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters and the Western Regional police Command in an uncompleted building at Kasaworodo near the Methodist Senior High School girls hotel where the first accused Samuel Wills was living discovered the bodies.
The three girls Ruthlove Quayson, Priscilla Blessing Bentum and Priscilla Koranchie were kidnapped between August and December 2018.
Two Nigerian suspects are standing trial over the kidnapping of the girls.
“On Saturday 3rd August, 2019 Police held discussion with families of the three missing ladies in Takoradi to assist with DNA samples as part of the investigation and the families are cooperating with the Police in this endeavor,” the police statement added.
“The Police Administration assures of covering all other angles of the investigation, while it expects to conclude DNA tests within the next four weeks,” the statement said.
Meanwhile, the families of the missing girls say they do not believe that their relatives are dead.
Kate Quayeson, an elderly sister of Ruthlove Quayeson; the second girl who was kidnapped told Empire News’ Emmanuel Ohene-Gyan that they do not trust in the outcome of the operation carried out by the police describing it as a diversionary tactic.
Mr Francis Bentum, father of Priscilla Blessing Bentum the first girl to be kidnapped also told Ohene-Gyan that after visiting the crime scene Friday evening about 8:30pm after the Police left, he concluded that the human remains could not have been kept in the septic tank.
