UK Air India crash victim’s mum sent wrong body back for burial

• The mother of an Air India flight 171 crash victim, Amanda Donaghey, received the wrong body for burial due to a botched repatriation scheme.
• Her son, Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek, and his husband Jamie were among the 260 people killed when the flight crashed less than a minute after takeoff from Ahmedabad.
• Despite initial DNA identification in India, a second test conducted in the UK revealed the remains sent to Ms Donaghey were not her son's.
• The family has been unable to lay Fiongal to rest with his husband and is urging the British government to help locate his remains.
• The incident is expected to be raised by Sir Keir Starmer with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while Air India has offered interim compensation to affected families.
