The police have confirmed they retrieved human remains from a septic tank on a property previously occupied by the key suspect in the kidnapping of the three Takoradi girls, Samuel Udoetuk-Wills. The skulls were retrieved Friday night from a septic tank at Kasaworodo a suburb of Takoradi.
This followed a search in the premises by the Police with the aid of sniffer dogs.
The suspect allegedly led the police to the area located near the hostel of the Methodist Girls Senior High School.
The police through their investigations got the information that the girls were dead and were buried in the septic tank behind the accused person's house, the sources said.
Subsequently, the police stormed the Kasaworodo house of the accused person, cordoned off the area at about 5:30pm on Friday and with the help of the Prisons Service, they started emptying the septic tank.
Family members of the missing girls are yet to comment on the latest development.
