Inquests have now been opened and adjourned into the four Vietnamese men whose remains were discovered following a mill fire in Oldham. Uoc Van Nguyen, Cuong Van Chu, Duong Van Nguyen and Nam Thanh Lee have all been formally identified following the tragedy at the derelict Bismark House Mill.
The court heard today that police have since been able to take DNA from fragments of the married 39-year-old's right thigh, before matching it with his parents. Ms Kearsley then opened the inquests of Nam 21, and Duong, 29.Police discovered the remains of leg bones belonging to Nam, while officers found the skull and teeth of Duong. Officers were able to take the DNA and match it with their parents.
A criminal investigation is ongoing and police are still searching the area for evidence. Detective Superintendent Lewis Hughes, of Greater Manchester Police, told the court: "The scene search is very much ongoing. "At the same time, we have multiple lines of enquiry open around what may have happened in the building up to the fire itself and who may be responsible." Ms Kearsley adjourned the inquests for all four men until April next year for further review.
