Remains exhumed over missing kidney row
The body of a County Durham man who died on the Greek island of Rhodes 11 years ago has been exhumed so a row over a missing organ can be settled.
Christopher Rochester, 24, died after falling from a balcony, but was missing a kidney when his body was flown home.
An organ later sent out failed a DNA match, and Greek authorities have demanded further samples from the body.
A forensic team from Durham Police led the exhumation at Ropery Lane Cemetery in Chester-le-Street early on Monday, as Peter Harris reports.
