Article Alert: Ned Kelly's Remains Handed Back to Family

from google alerts..

The Sydney Morning Herald of August 2, 2012 has an article entitled "Ned Kelly's Remains Handed Back to Family."

It begins with:

The remains of Ned Kelly have been returned to his descendants who will hold a private burial 132 years after his death.

The Herald Sun says the property developer behind the Pentridge Village where Kelly was buried has been forced to hand over the bushranger's remains.

The Victorian government on Wednesday issued a new exhumation licence for Kelly's remains, which scuttles the plan of developer Leigh Chiavaroli to use the remains as part of a museum.

Later in the article is this:

It's expected he will be laid to rest in a small cemetery in the Greta churchyard south of Glenrowan, where Kelly's mother Ellen, several of his brothers and sisters and other relatives are buried in unmarked graves.
