Over three hundred thousand Cedis was spent on the DNA test which
confirmed that the discovered bodies at Kasawrodo were that of the
missing girls, Starrfm.com.gh has learnt.
According to Starrfm.com.gh sources, the tests were conducted at the
well respected Spanish lab in Accra and another in the United States.
The results of the test in the USA was flown to Accra.
Meanwhile, the Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service
ACP David Eklu says the service is open to a second opinion in the DNA
outcome of the bodies that were retrieved at Kasawrodo in the Western
region.
According to him, the police has nothing to hide in the results that confirmed that the bodies were that of the missing girls.
“The news on the girls isn’t a pleasant one. There are some concerns in
the media which we may find difficulty understanding . We deal with the
families on individual basis. If the families want the remains for
independent tests we won’t object to that,” he told Starr News Naa Dede
Tetteh.
It comes after two of the families rejected the outcome of the DNA test conducted by the police.
The acting Inspector General of Police, James Oppong Boanuh, on Monday
confirmed that results of DNA tests conducted on some human parts
exhumed in a house in Takoradi are that of the four missing girls.
A special police operation led to the discovery and exhumation of the
bodies of the four missing Takoradi girls at Kasawrodo in the Western
region, Starr News confirmed in August this year.
