The Public Prosecutor mandated the Public Authority for Search and Identification of Missing Persons to undertake the process of exploration and exhumation of the bodies from the graves and transfer them to the Forensic Medicine Department of the Judicial Expertise Center at the Ministry of Justice, to undertake the autopsy of those bodies and prepare detailed reports on each body, indicating the cause of death, time and tool causing it.
