More human remains found amidst MH17 pieces

More human remains were found among the wreckage of flight MH17 that is collected at Gilze-Rijen airbase. The Safety Board has confirmed this. This involves small remains, but the board did not say what specific remains they are. All remains have been secured for identification. According to Wim de Bruin, a spokesman for justice, they are busy informing relatives about this find. A forensic investigation will determine to which victim these remains belong. Only four of the flight MH17 have not yet been identified. All four of these victims were Dutch citizens. The first convoy transporting wreckage of flight MH17 arrived at Gilze-Rijen last Tuesday. The last convoy arrived on Friday. At Gilze-Rijen a reconstruction of part of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 will be made in order to determine the cause of the crash.
