Wait may go on for couple claiming to be Baby 81's parents

A Sri Lankan couple claiming to be the parents of Baby 81 – a symbol of the families torn apart by the tsunami – were scheduled to undergo DNA tests today, but may have to wait days to know the result.

The couple and infant boy are scheduled to arrive separately in the capital Colombo, where blood samples will be drawn to decide the world’s most-watched paternity case, after a nine-hour drive over a bumpy, elephant-travelled road from the eastern town of Kalmunai.
