Also, according to reports, some of those who were close to the altar when the assailants detonated the explosive device had much of their bodies shattered.
There are plans to give mass burial to those who lost their lives in the Sunday attack. The decision was taken due to the nature of their deaths. So we have to bury them instead of them just laying in the morgue.
Those that will be given mass burial are those whose bodies could not be identified by anyone.
Definitely, when the necessary arrangements have been concluded; the church will notify the public on when the mass burial will be done.
Meanwhile, the source disclosed that the church is willing to release corpses to families. Precisely to those that want to claim them for burial, only after proper verification.
