Article Alert: Pentridge Developer Lays Claim to Ned Kelly's Remains

from google alerts..

The Herald Sun of June 23, 2012 has an article entitled "Pentridge Developer Lays Claim to Ned Kelly's Remains."

It begins with:

The developer of the former Pentridge Prison says he is the rightful owner of Ned Kelly's remains and wants compensation for the bushranger's bones.
Kelly's final burial, promised to descendants last year, has been delayed by the row...

and later in the article there is:


The remains are at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, where they were identified using DNA from a family member. After the remains were identified, Attorney-General Robert Clark decided they should be handed to Kelly's descendants for burial.
But that process has become complicated because the exhumation licence stated the remains would be returned to Pentridge.....

    What an absolutely disgraceful thing to say.The ONLY 'rightful owner' of Ned is Ned himself.How dare this person want compensation! What is wrong with people? Ned & his family have waited more than long enough for his return to Kelly Country.Idiots like this greedy developer should mind their own business & stop making Ned and his family wait any longer for Ned's wishes to be made.
