The Zambian government has said it has taken possession of the body of former president Edgar Lungu - who died in South Africa 10 months ago - against the wishes of the family.
It is the latest episode in a row over what should happen to his remains following a long-standing feud between Lungu and his successor, President Hakainde Hichilema.
The government has maintained that as a former head of state he should be honoured in the country and buried alongside his predecessors in the special presidential burial ground in the capital, Lusaka.
But Lungu's family wanted a private burial after negotiations with the government over the funeral arrangements broke down.
However, last August, a South African court ruled that Zambia's government could repatriate the body and give him a state funeral.
