A Napier woman who is convinced she owns the skull of notorious Australian bushranger Ned Kelly has held a wake for the infamous outlaw to mark his burial yesterday.
Kelly was buried without his head in a private service in rural Victoria on Sunday.
The identity was confirmed more than 130 years after his execution, by DNA testing of his bones to compare them to one of his descendants.
His family is still in search of Kelly's skull, which Ms Hoffmann maintains she was given 30 years ago while on holiday in Melbourne.
She said she had not heard from Australian authorities since claiming last year she had Kelly's head.
