It’s been almost a year since the City of Philadelphia announced it discovered the remains of some MOVE bombing victims and one man says he has still not received the remains of his two sisters.

Lionell Dotson told Eyewitness News his sisters’ remains are in Philadelphia’s Medical Examiner’s Office, but after trying for months, he hasn’t been allowed to obtain them.

“They cannot still rest in peace because their on a shelf in someone’s box,” Dotson said.
