OVER three weeks after they were discovered, the 28 bodies of Ethiopians who were found dumped on the outskirts of Lusaka are still lying in the University Teaching Hospitals (UTH) mortuary awaiting post-mortem and burial.
With the post-mortem not yet conducted, it means the cause of the death is not yet established and, as such, the two suspects in custody cannot be charged.
After the bodies were discovered on December 11 last month, State-owned Ethiopia News Agency said its country will send experts to the area to confirm the identities of the citizens who reportedly died while attempting to cross into Zambia. This is contained in a report published by Zambia Daily Mail.
