DNA testing to establish identity of Donegal remains

Human skeletal remains discovered in a field in Co Donegal have been removed from the scene for DNA examinations to be carried out.

Results of testing may not be known for some days, and Gardaí say they are keeping an open mind over whether the remains are those of missing mother of four, Dolores McRea.

While Gardaí are still searching the area surrounding the farmhouse outside Ballintra, attention is being focused today on the actual building itself.
