[앵커]

Among the victims of the May 18 Democratization Movement in Gwangju, some people have not been identified for 40 years.

They sleep in the “Tomb of the Unknown Death”.

The Investigation Committee 5 · 18 of the Survey initiated a full-fledged identification process in order to return the nameless warriors to their families.

He begins to dig the grave with a shovel in the thick rain.

As soon as the dirt is removed, the remains that have been sleeping until now appear.

He was euthanized by the army under siege at the time of May 18, but remains an unknown warrior whose identity has not been verified 40 years later.

Three graves were dug, including the remains of a boy, estimated to be 4 years old at the time.

Since the genetic testing technology is so much better than before, I am desperately willing to verify my identity and return it to my family.

There is a reason to open the tomb and collect bone fragments.

At the time of May 18, the family was missing, and many people have already provided genetic information, but it is because the genetic samples of the unidentified remains collected long ago were all worn out after undergoing various tests.

The Fact-finding Committee, which has already investigated 78 missing persons on May 18 and 300 soldiers as of May 18, plans to focus on identifying and excavating black cemeteries in the future.
