he National Security Ministry says 35 of the 73 civilians who were killed during the military led incursion in Western Kingston have now been identified.
The identification process is continuing at the Tivoli Gardens Community Centre and the Denham Town Police Station.
The ministry says following initial identification using photographs, the relatives of the victims will be advised when to visit various locations for a second identification process, this time with the actual bodies.
The National Security Ministry urged relatives not to go the Maddens Funeral Home or any other funeral home demanding to see the bodies for the identification process.
In the meantime, the ministry says it is still awaiting word from Earl Witter, Public Defender, regarding the arrival of independent pathologists, who are to observe the post mortems that still remain.
The Public Defender has asked that no further post mortems be conducted until the independent pathologists are in place.
According to the ministry's statement, the government’s pathologist is ready to start the post mortems which he says will take between 10 and 20 days to complete.
