08 December 2008, 11:43Expert confirms remains found near Yekaterinburg belong to Romanovs
Yekaterinburg, December 8, Interfax - The remains found outside Yekaterinburg are those of members of the Romanov imperial family, Nikolay Nevolin, chief non-staff forensic expert of the Sverdlovsk Region Health Ministry, told a news conference in Yekaterinburg.
"The outcome of today's conference is historic. The matter has been brought to a close. It has been proved using advanced research methods that the remains belong to the Romanov family," he said.
"There is no point in continuing any examinations because the available results are sufficient for 100% identification," Nevolin said.
The case of the remains of Emperor Nicholas II of Russia will tentatively be closed on January 15, 2009 after it is summarized, said Vladimir Solovyov, a senior investigator for high-profile cases at the Russian Investigative Committee.
"The case is expected to be closed because the people who committed the crime are dead. The investigation is absolutely certain that the experts are right," he said.
