In the letter seen by iHarare, The Director of NUST Applied Genetic Testing Center Zephaniah Dhlamini said the DNA testing for the trio had been completed.
Following your request for us to carry out forensic identification Tests on the victims of the Borrowdale road traffic accident that were burnt beyond recognition, I am happy to inform you that we have successfully completed the task. he said
With the completion of the Identification Tests, burial arrangements will now be made by the respective families of the victims.
