In 1982, British Army Captain Geoffrey Cardozo made Darwin’s cemetery mass burial and over the years other remains have appeared in different areas which have also been taken to Darwin.

In 2016, Buenos Aires and London signed their agreement with the Red Cross to launch the massive process of identifying those buried in Darwin that Cardozo failed to name.

These vestiges of which the declaration of the island speaks they would be outside the 1982 Cardozo graves.

“As this is an ongoing police investigation, no further comments will be made at this stage“, indicated the press release of the islands this Thursday afternoon.

Another curiosity, they will try to move forward with this case next August when the technicians who will advance with the second part of the identification process in Darwin will arrive on the islands, this time from a collective tomb that they will open to identify The process. will take it forward, he is now former director of the Argentine forensic anthropology team, Luis Fondebrider, who will continue to lead the anthropology unit of the Red Cross in Switzerland.
