The Ghana Police Service has said it will not object to an independent DNA test on the remains of the four Takoradi girls now said to have died.
The families of the girls have said they want an independent DNA test before they can accept the police’s position that the girls are dead.
The DNA test conducted on the four human remains discovered around a house once occupied by the suspected kidnapper has proven that the girls were indeed dead, the Acting Inspector General of Police, (IGP), Mr James Oppong Boanuh, announced at a press briefing in Accra on Monday night.
Following that, apart from one family that has said they have no qualms with the findings, three families of the victims have rejected the outcome and called for an independent probe.
In a radio interview with Accra based Starr FM on Wednesday, the Director-General of Police Public Affairs, ACP Mr David Eklu said the concerns of the families will be addressed.
