Remains of last Concordia victim are reportedly identified
Remains of the last Costa Concordia victim were found on board the wreck and have been identified as crew member Russel Rebello, Italy's ANSA news service reports.

ANSA said the remains, found in a cabin on Deck 8, had been hidden by furniture until now. The ship is being prepared for breaking near Genoa.

Rebello, a waiter from India, was among 32 people who died after Concordia hit the rocks off Giglio Island in January 2012.

Meanwhile, in Grosseto, the trial of Capt. Francesco Schettino continues.
