The remains of the four murdered Takoradi kidnapped girls still in police custody have been brought to the Sekondi High Court ahead of a hearing today.

This is upon the request of the seven member-jury in the murder case against the two Nigerians, Sam Udoetuk Wills and John Orji. The court is continuing the trial of the two persons who are the main suspects in the case that has lasted more than a year.

The remains were accompanied by the Police pathologist, Superintendent Dr. Osei Owusu-Afriyie.

The Sekondi High Court on July 29 this year empaneled the seven-member jury for the case.

The empaneling met stiff opposition from the two accused persons, as each without any reason objected to six out of the 13-panel members called.

Their rejection only came to a halt after the court reminded them that each had a right to reject up to three jury members without justification, beyond which they have to provide reasons.

The Presiding Judge then swore in the remaining seven jury members of different backgrounds from the public service with a caution to avoid any compromise of their mandated duty.
