The Police Forensics Team is now conducting checks on the car that was pulled out of the Navua River yesterday afternoon. 

Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro says their teams are still at the scene and the car along with the human remains that were found yesterday may be shifted to their Forensics Office in Suva this afternoon.

Naisoro says it will take some time to confirm if the remains that were found are those of the missing Kumar children.

She says they will have to send the remains overseas for further tests.

Some fishermen found the car on Friday.

The vehicle was last seen on the 19th of April 2006.

Vehicle driver 42‑year‑old Davendra Kumar, his 32‑year‑old wife Nirupa Devi, and their children, 9‑year‑old Dipshika Kumar and 3‑year‑old Edwin Kumar were reported missing 10 years ago.

The remains of Davendra Kumar and Nirupa Devi were found at a beach in Pacific Harbour a year later.

However they did not find any remains of the two children.
