PGR sends belongings of Ayotzinapa students to Innsbruck

The Office of the Attorney General (PGR) sent over 53 samples to the Austrian University of Innsbruck, for a DNA analysis in order to determine if they belong to the 43 teachers in training from Ayotzinapa missing since last September 26 in Iguala, Guerrero.

In a statement, the unit reported that as a result of joint work with the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the group of samples was sent today, including clothing and other objects found in the area.

"The samples, reviewed and classified by the experts of the PGR and the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF), were delivered to the Institute of Legal Medicine of the University in order to perform an analysis of STR (nuclear) DNA that will allow us to identify genetic profiles," he said.
