Ho, May 26, GNA - The remains of two youths, suspected to be those of the twins reported to have been abducted early this year at Awudome-Tsito in the Ho Municipal Area, were on Sunday evening retrieved from a cesspit tank at the outskirts of Tsito.

Mr Bernard Dery, Volta Regional Police Commander, told the Ghana News Agency that the police, acting on a tip-off by a caller, recovered the bodies after draining the cesspit.

He said the skeletons were found tied with wires to wooden planks. The last time the twins, Joseph and Benjamin Bani, were seen was on January 2 when John Adeku, now in custody, was said to have invited them into the house of one Dan at the outskirts of Tsito. Adeku and three others have been in custody helping the police in investigations but Dan, said to be the prime suspect, is on the run. Mr Dery said the landlord and caretaker of the house in which the cesspit tank was located had been picked up for questioning. 26 May 08
