Even after viewing skeletons that police DNA results confirmed as those of the girls who were declared missing in Takoradi late last year, the family members are still not convinced about the bones being that of their relatives.
The family members bused to Accra from Takoradi to view the skeletal remains Thursday, appeared more incensed with a growing mistrust for the police.
Shouting on top of his voice amidst intermittent sobbing, a man identified to be a family member of one of the girls, said one does not need any scientific examination to tell that the skeletons shown them are years old.
The remains of four girls were discovered in a cesspit tank and a well respectively in the Western region in August. DNA tests conducted on the skeletons in September, the police said, confirmed that they are that of the girls.

He stated, rather furiously, that the police can keep the skeletal remains, rejecting police claims that they belong to the missing girls.
Meanwhile, the families have been asked to go to court for the court to order the release of the skeletons to them.
