A specially deployed jet has on Thursday departed Accra, Ghana, carrying the remains of the eight victims of Wednesday’s tragic military helicopter crash at Adansi in the Ashanti region.
The remains of Defence Minister Edward Omane Boamah and Environment Minister Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, and the six others are being flown to South Africa for forensic examination to properly identify each victim.
This has become necessary due to the extreme burns the victims suffered, leaving many of them burned beyond recognition. DNA testing has been recommended to ensure accurate identification.
A forensic officer from Ghana’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is aboard the flight to oversee the process, while a high-powered delegation of Ministers and Members of Parliament were present at the Kotoka International Airport to oversee the departure formalities.
The jet is expected to land in South Africa on Thursday night to usher in the forensic investigations.
