The police has charged John Orji and Sam Udoetuk Wills, the suspects in the Takoradi kidnapping case, with murder.

They are standing trial at a Takoradi Magistrate Court.

State Attorney, Adelaide Kobiri-Woode, dropped the previous charges – conspiracy to commit a crime – against the two suspects at the Sekondi High Court.

The missing girls who were kidnapped in July 2018 were Priscilla Bentum, Ruth Love Quayson, Priscilla Mantebea Kuranchie and Ruth Abakah.

They were later confirmed dead in August 2019 by the police.
