The Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) Team has completed the identification process of all remains of the ill-fated Sukhoi Superjet 100’s victims.

“Today at 3 p.m. local time, all 45 victims comprising 35 Indonesians and 10 foreigners, or 31 men and 14 women, have been identified scientifically and irrefutably based on their DNA, dental records, medical records and properties, Head of the National DVI Committee Birgadier General Musaddeq said in a press conference here on Sunday.
