According to the Polish RMF FM broadcaster, a sarcophagus with the bodies of the Kaczynskis, who are buried in the country's southern city of Krakow, will be opened on November 14 for further study of the human remains.
The media outlet added that at least four more exhumations would be carried out before the end of November in the country's capital of Warsaw and the southeastern city of Lublin.
On April 10, 2010, a Polish jet airliner carrying Kaczynski, his wife and officials crashed amid heavy fog as it attempted to land at an airfield near the Russian city of Smolensk. All 96 people on board died in the crash. The Moscow-based Interstate Aviation Committee said that the flight crew’s decision not to reroute the plane to an alternative aerodrome led to the crash.
In early February, the Polish Defense Ministry said that Warsaw would restart its investigation into the crash from the very beginning.
