The widow of ousted Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi has urged the UN and the EU to help her recover the remains of her husband and their son Mutassim.

According to a report on the News24 site, Safia Farkash also called on the AU to investigate the deaths of the two men. Gaddafi and his son were captured and killed by rebel fighters on 20 October 2011 during the uprising that toppled the long-ruling strongman, the report says. It notes their bodies were displayed in the port of Misrata and then buried in a secret location. 'All the members of the UN Security Council, the EU and everyone who has direct or indirect connection with this murder must tell where the remains of these martyrs are and allow their relatives to bury them in a proper way,' the report says Farkash wrote in the letter marking the second anniversary of Gaddafi's death.
