While investigations on the crime of the Medical Faculty are still in full swing under direct supervision of the Interior Minister, the two German anatomy specialists left last Wednesday for Germany. They took with them some samples of the victims’ torn-off limbs to be analyzed and studied.
The medical committee, assigned by the court to make a new report regarding the contents of the morgue assisted by the two German specialists, presented last Tuesday its preliminary report to the Interior Ministry. It is expected that the final report, based on the results that will be achieved by the two German specialists, will be submitted at the beginning of next week.
The report made by the Parliamentary Committee assigned by the Parliament revealed that there was not a conformity between the tools used in the crime and those presented to the court. It also showed that there were some other tools still unknown. Besides, the existence of torn-off limbs and bones that have different tissues. That proves that the number of dead bodies are far more than the number announced. The report also confirmed that most of the remains of the corpses were not found in the morgue.
News has it that there are other girls who are reported missing and that there are some reports submitted to the police by their families, one of whom was a woman teaching in the capital secretariat.
Press sources reveal that the Interior Ministry has recorded information about 200 missing cases over the past ten years. Investigations are now being conducted with 13 persons, most of whom are security men. They are suspected of being implicated in the Medical Faculty crimes. These investigations are being made under direct supervision of the Interior minister.
The Interior Minister has already detained four doctors teaching at the Medical Faculty. However, they were released following some orders by the Prime Minster, Dr. Iryani.
After suspicion focused on the morgue assistant Mohammed Adam, the investigators started to suspect that other people were involved in a bodies trading racket.
The Parliamentary Committee has also stated in its report that it is important to investigate and examine all the aspects of the crime and it is important that the University Presidium, Deanship of the Medical Faculty and chairmen of the departments in the Faculty are removed from their posts.
The committee has also confirmed that the university security, some criminal investigation officers and those involved in it have been discharged due to their failure and total lack of responsibility performing their duties properly.
The court has also adjourned the sessions to an unknown date until all the information and reports prepared by the committee assisted by the two German specialists are submitted to the court.
