HNOM PENH (AFP) - DNA tests have confirmed that the remains of five people found in a submerged car in Cambodia in January are those of a Frenchman and his four children, embassy officials said Thursday.
The Cambodian government has agreed to send the skeletal remains to France for 'additional examination' by forensics experts, the French embassy in Phnom Penh said in a statement.
No cause of death has been determined yet for widower Laurent Vallier, 42, and his young children.
The family's badly decomposed bodies were discovered inside Vallier's white 4x4 vehicle after it was retrieved from a large pond behind his house in southern Kampong Speu province on Jan 14.
