Africasia (London,UK), "South Africa sends experts to identify Kenya Airlines Cameroon plane crash victims"
          South Africa has sent a team of pathologists to help identify victims of the recent Kenya Airlines crash which killed all 114 people on board, the government said on Sunday. The team of six pathologist led by South African Police Services expert, Inspector Leone Ras, left Johannesburg on Saturday for Cameroon's commercial capital Douala and it is expected to begin work immediately, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
          The team will help with identification so that the remains of all victims, including seven South Africans, can be sent back to their home countries for burial. This move comes amid anger and frustration by the families of the victims who believe progress has been very slow since the May 5 crash.
          South African President Thabo Mbeki earlier sent a message of condolence to all families who lost their loved ones when the Boeing 737-800 went down some 20 kilometres (12.5 miles) south of Douala. Officials said the victims of the crash were from 27 countries.
