we need to dig up a dead relative's body for a toxicology test. he died late last year - we suspect by poisoning - and though we ordered toxicology tests on the body and it was taken to sdo by the authorities, 2 months later there are no results. we suspect payola by the person whom we believe killed the relative to the police and persons involved in the autopsy.

how does one go about this? what would the steps be? and how to we ensure that there is no interference from any party not directly involved in the re-examination? thanks in advance.

You will have to go to the Procuradur?a General de la Rep?blica and request the exhumation...It is a totally legal process. Get a good lawyer to do this for you.

thanks hb! could you pm the name of a good lawyer in the capital - if you know one. i'd rather not use our local lawyers for obvious reasons.
