Police have refuted reports that the human parts found near the home of
one of the suspects in the Takoradi kidnapping case were as a result of a
tip-off or confession.
In a statement, the Police said the development was as a result of the examination of “several angles of the investigation.”
Police investigating the disappearances of the three girls; Priscilla
Blessing Bentum, Ruth Love Quayson and Priscilla Kuranchie, found human
parts in the sewage system near the home of Sam Wills last Friday.
Police have also requested that the families be on standby for DNA
samples to be taken for testing after meeting them on Saturday.
In the statement, the Police Administration said it “expects to conclude DNA tests within the next four weeks.”
Update On Found Human Remains in Takoradi
Police discovered human remains at Kasaworodo in Takoradi, as a result
of ongoing efforts at examining several angles of the investigation.
Claims that a confession or tip-off led to the discovery are untrue.
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 endeavour.
The Police Administration assures of covering all other angles of the
investigation, while it expects to conclude DNA tests within the next
four weeks.
However, some of the families’ plan on refusing the Police’s request for DNA samples.
The father of Priscilla Kuranchie the elder sister of Ruth Love
Quayson, Rebecca Quayson told Citi News they do not plan to take part in
the forensic tests.
The families have indicated a distrust of the police over the way they have handled the case so far.
The Western Regional Security Council (REGSEC) has since called for calm after the discovery of the remains.
