On 18 April 2015 more than 1,000 refugees and migrants left Libya in an overloaded fishing boat bound for Europe. On a moonless night in the Mediterranean the vessel sank. But those who drowned are not forgotten - for the last five years a team led by an Italian forensic pathologist has been on a mission to name them.
"There's a body that needs to be identified, you identify it - this is the first commandment of forensic medicine," says Dr Cristina Cattaneo, professor of forensic pathology and anthropology at the University of Milan.
