DNA taken from a coffin found in a mass grave in Libya may match that of Saturday Star photographer Anton Hammerl.

The DNA sample wil be sent to the International Commission on Missing Persons in Bosnia for verification as Libya does not have the capacity to do DNA testing.

Hammerl was covering the conflict in Libya when he was shot by Gadaffi loyalists near the town of Brega last April.
