Forensic experts are carrying out DNA tests on the upper half of a body, found on the site of last month’s Naxxar explosion, to ascertain that it is the body of Paul Camilleri who is suspected to have died when fireworks blew up in his garage.

The remains were found on March 18 by a private contractor who was operating under the supervision of police and court staff.

The March 11 explosion, which brought down three houses, also killed Sina Sammut, 35, whose body was found on the following day by Civil Protection Department personnel.
