The genetic analysis of bones fragments taken from a decomposing body, confirmed the death of Alias «Edgar Tovar», commander of the 48th group of the FARC and the drug trafficking responsible for the guerrilla group. The genetic profile obtained from the human remains was compared with information obtained from nuclear DNA and Y chromosome, the father of Angel Gabriel Lozada García, obtaining a statistical probability of paternity of 99. 991% and a total match on the information contained in markers analyzed Y chromosome, which was considered sufficient to determine the identification of the body.
