Bengaluru: Yet to come to grips with the loss of their dear ones, shattered kith and kin of those killed in the devastating serial blasts in Sri Lanka are now faced with the problem of bringing the dismembered bodies home which, according to a relative, have started decomposing.

Family members are anxiously waiting for the bodies to take them back to India and perform the last rites, said a relative of a JDS worker killed in the blast that ripped through Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo on Easter Sunday. S Shivakumar, who is in Sri Lanka, told PTI over the phone Tuesday that the autopsy on his relative H Shivakumar's body has been completed but the problem was to fly it to India.
