The site and the way in which the bones were discovered suggests that they concern people who were linked to the 27th of May, explained the CIVICOP coordinator.

Speaking at the end of the commission's III ordinary meeting, Francisco Queiroz said that a medical-forensic team is analyzing the bones.

Cited by Angop, the head of the Justice and Human Rights portfolio stressed that the remains are supposed to be those of Nito Alvez, Pedro Fortunato, Bakalof, Monstro Immortal, Sita Vales, José Van-Dúnem, David Zé, Urbano de Castro, Domingos Barros "Sabata", Artur Nunes, Júlio and Ilídio Ramalhete. However, he stressed that "there are still no certainties" to whom the bones belong.

"There is no certainty as to who the bones belong to, there are eight individuals with complete bones and two with partial bones and, in this context, we are now waiting for the completion of the DNA tests", said the minister.

So, in order to be able to carry out an efficient investigation, the commission contacted 25 families of victims of this conflict who are cooperating in genetic tests.

Regarding the victims' families who are abroad, Francisco Queiroz, quoted by Angop, clarified that the genetic tests will be carried out in the countries where they live, leaving aside the possibility of transferring the bones abroad.

The official also took the opportunity to emphasize the continuation of work on locating bones in other parts of the country.

He also talked about death certificates, indicating that 2438 requests were received by CIVICOP, with 1943 being issued. Regarding death certificates, the official reported that 1417 were issued, of which 1015 were delivered.
