Poland to exhume victims of 2010 presidential plane crash
From mid-October until mid-April. 96 people were killed
23 June, 12:30
(ANSA-AP) - WARSAW - The remains of Polish President Lech
Kaczynski, his wife and other victims of a 2010 plane crash will
be exhumed to help investigators determine the cause of the
crash that killed 96 people, a spokesman for top prosecutors
said Wednesday.
Prosecutor Maciej Kujawski told The Associated Press that investigators are in talks with Polish and foreign experts who they want to carry out the exhumations at an unspecified time.
Temperatures in Poland allow for exhumations to take place from mid-October until mid-April.
Kujawski said the autopsy documents that Poland received from Russia, where the crash occurred, are incomplete and in some cases erroneous and don't help explain the reason for the crash, which is under a renewed investigation in Poland. Doubts raised by the documents have led to nine exhumations in previous years.
In six cases the bodies were found to have been mixed up. The bodies arrived from Russia in sealed coffins and no examinations took place in Poland. (ANSA-AP).
