Dutch forensic teams collect DNA to help identify victims
Print Edition
FORENSIC teams across the Netherlands yesterday began collecting material to help identify the remains of victims.
Police said 40 pairs of detectives from the National Forensic Investigations Team would be visiting victims’ relatives over the coming days. Their aim is to build a database of material including DNA and photographs of distinguishing features like scars and tattoos that can be used to identify bodies recovered from the crash site.
Malaysia Airlines said 192 of the 298 victims were Dutch.
Europol said yesterday it will assist Interpol and other agencies in identifying the victims.
“We will do our utmost to support the work that must be done following this horrific incident, where hundreds of families ... are grieving and left with unanswered questions,” it said.
