Caamano family claims missing bones

Claudio Caamano Velez, member of the Caamano Foundation and son of the late fighter and ex guerilla Claudio Caamano Grullon,, has complained via the social network Twitter, that the bones handed back to him yesterday, 21 April by the National Institute of Forensic Science (INACIF), and that were exhumed from the grave of Francisco Alberto Caamano Deno, were not complete.

He said that the remains had been taken back to the Maximo Gomez cemetery and while the remains were waiting to be transferred to the Pantheon, it was discovered that two femurs were missing.

On 31 January, the Upper Administrative Court had ordered the Exaltation Commission, headed by Culture Minister Jose Antonio Rodriguez to carry out the order to transfer the bones to the Pantheon, but the Minister of Culture had not complied with the order.

The statement by the Caamano relative is made inspite of the family accepting the findings of a December 2013 study carried out by the INACIF that determined that the so-called remains of Caamano did not correspond with DNA of his relatives. After the finding, the family admitted that those were not the remains and Francis Caamano, speaking for the family, had said the wish was that the memory of Caamano continue to reside in the grave at the National Pantheon.
