The Western Regional Security Council has appealed to the general public for calm as police carry out DNA tests on human remains suspected to be those of three missing Takoradi young women.

Police investigators made a major breakthrough on Friday when a suspect being held in connection with the kidnapping, Samuel Odeotuk Wills, led police investigators to his former home at Kasaworodo in the Western region capital where some human remains were taken from a septic tank.

The statement which asked the police to expedite its DNA tests on the remains also urged the public to assist the investigators with any information that will help unravel the mystery surrounding the kidnapping of the three girls.

Mantebea Koranchie, 15, Ruth Love Quayson, 18, and Priscilla Blessing Bentum, 21 have gone missing for nearly a year after they were reported kidnapped in the Takoradi metropolis.
