ADDIS ABABA - The identification of human remains from the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 is complete, the head of Ethiopia's police said late on Monday , six months after the plane nosedived into farmland outside the capital Addis Ababa.

The Boeing 737-Max slammed into the ground with such force that only fragments of those who died could be recovered."Families were devastated because of this. Almost all the old people, they took it very seriously. They are still in shock," said Bayihe Demissie, who works with a committee formed by the families of Ethiopian victims.

Collecting and identifying the remains has been a fraught process. Families of those who perished complained of a lack of information about recovery efforts during which Ethiopian workers used metal aircraft parts to dig in the soil. Experts from another British-based company, Blake Emergency Services, and from Interpol and the Ethiopian police were involved in preparing DNA samples and fingerprints.
