“We discovered the suspect had established acquaintances with the victims because his phone call log revealed several calls with the victims which means they were in constant communication. He even promised two jobs and another a mobile phone,” DCOP Dedzoe explained.
Mr Dedzoe urged the families of the victims and the general public to keep calm because the police don’t think the girls are in any kind of danger.
“The girls were not attacked on their way to church or any other place but were specifically called by the suspect to meet with him which they did,” he explained.
