Moscow - The graves of two missing members of the Russian imperial family have been discovered in the Urals city of Yekaterinburg, writes Seamus Martin. Mr Alexander Avdonin, the scientist who discovered the bones of Tsar Nicholas II, the Empress Alexandra and three of their five children in 1991, says he now has the remaining family bones.
The remains of the heir to the Russian throne, the Tsarevich Alexei, and one of their daughters were not among those tested for DNA and matched with a blood sample from Britain's Prince Philip. Experts have disagreed on the identity of the missing daughter.
