The families have questioned why the police have refused to provide the results to the tests that were conducted on the skeletons a year ago.
At a news conference organised by the Concerned Mothers Movement in Diabene on Monday, the families want the bodies released to them to enable them conduct independent DNA tests.
“We are demanding a copy of the DNA test because till now, the family has not received any report,” sister of one of the murdered girls.
The families are also calling for financial support to be given to them as well as giving their dead relatives a state burial.
Between July and December 2018, Ruth Abakah, 19; Priscilla Blessing Bentum, 21; Ruth Love Quayson,18 and Priscilla Koranchie, 15, went missing and were later reported dead.
Meanwhile, the two Nigerians, Samuel Udoetuk Wills, and John Orji who were found guilty of the crimes of kidnapping and subsequently killing the four Takoradi girls have been sentenced to death by hanging.
However, they have been given 30 days within which they can appeal the sentence that has been slapped on them.
