The funerals of the six Gozo fireworks explosion victims have been postponed because of delays in the release of the bodies, according to a report in The Times.

Sources told the newspaper that there were ‘complications’ when the first autopsies were held Thursday morning and DNA tests will have to be made. A spokesman for two of the families confirmed the postponement, the report said.
