A statement from the ICVLR to Northern Sound said that the complex testing and analysis process is continuing and as yet there is no indication as to when it will be concluded.

There is currently no indication as to when the investigation into one of the Disappeared, which resulted in the exhumation of remains from a grave site in Anyalla, will be concluded.
Last November, the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains, carried out the exhumation of a grave in Anyalla Cemetery as part of their search for one of the last remaining so-called Disappeared, Fr Joe Lysnkey.

Joe Lynskey was a Cistercian monk from Belfast who went missing in 1972 but the ICLVR did not include him on the list of the so-called "Disappeared" until 2010.
The dig at the Anyalla Cemetery came about following information received by the ICLVR about suspicious activity at the grave site around the time Fr Lynskey disappeared.
Multiple sets of remains were removed from the grave and taken away for analysis.
