Two DNA tests conducted by the police revealed that a highly decomposed body left to rot in a hospital morgue is not that of missing detainee G Francis Udayappan. But his mother claims otherwise.

Therefore if the tests are accurate then the question begs, whose body is it? A judicial inquest scheduled on Aug 10 will seek to answer this.

But there's another problem. How effective can the inquest be when the family has either yet to be officially informed nor invited to give their testimonies?

The police, who fished out the body from the murky waters of Klang river on May 23, suspected that it was Francis and called in his mother to identify it.
