At the moment it is about to produce DNA profiles of the relatives of the missing.
– We have got a question about DNA profiling of relatives, and we have regular contact with the police, who are our clients, says Wendy Älgenäs is Head of forensic genetics of Forensic Medicine.
Why do you make such a profile?
– in order to have a reference to compare with a DNA profile from deceased.
Two Swedes missing after the suicide attacks on Tuesday, and reportedly, the two have been in the vicinity of the attack sites in Brussels.
Forensic Medicine has now got a question about help with identification.
However, it is currently not appropriate to send the Swedish experts to Brussels.
– As it looks now, we have the issue of DNA profiling and we have not received any other task in the current situation, says Wendy Älgenäs.
the work to identify the victims of the terrorist attacks is complicated and will take time.
in emergencies and other disasters made identification always according to a standardized process based on international guidelines.
– the identification process can be done in various ways, either takes the help of DNA, fingerprints or dental records, it depends on the country where the accident has occurred and what methods are appropriate for that particular situation to make it as effective as possible.
– The entire process of setting up an autopsy line and take care of the deceased and collect samples from relatives will take time, and it is not unusual that it takes a long time, says Wendy Älgenäs of Forensic Medicine.
