Ned Kelly's body was thrown into a mass grave after he was hanged in 1880
The remains of Australian outlaw Ned Kelly will be handed to his descendants for burial more than 130 years after he was hanged for murder.
The headless remains of Kelly, who led a gang in Victoria in the late 1800s, were identified last November through DNA tests.
The bones were found in a mass grave outside the former Pentridge Prison.
The site's property developers wanted to keep the remains but Kelly's family wanted the bones returned.
