BBC E-mail: Germany returns Namibian skulls

Earlier, Ueriuka Festus Tjikuua, a member of the Namibian delegation, told reporters: "We have come first and foremost to receive the mortal human remains of our forefathers and mothers and to return them to the land of their ancestors."

I saw this story on the BBC News iPad App and thought you should see it.
