More human body remains have been found at Natadola beach.

Police Chief of Intelligence and Investigations ACP Luke Navela says that the decomposed body remains were found by a man who was walking along the beach after which he informed the police.

Navela says the remains were wrapped in a similar manner as the last remains found at the same location.

Meanwhile, police say the case regarding the Russian couple has been classified as murder.

ACP Navela says the DNA tests confirm that the human remains which washed ashore at Natadola beach two weeks ago belonged to the Russian couple.

Navela says police have questioned and released their business partner who reported the matter to the police that Yuri Shipulin and his wife Natalia are missing from the 16th of last month.

A security guard discovered the first set of body parts at Natadola Beach.
