Libya's National Transitional Council has announced that Moamar Gaddafi's body is likely to be handed over to representatives of his family and tribe in the next 24 to 48 hours.
It remains unclear if a post-mortem will be carried out on his body, which is still being held in a cold storage container in Misrata. The body of his son is also there.
Libyans have been queuing-up to view the body of their former dictator.
Gaddafi's body is now covered by a blanket that leaves only his head exposed, hiding the bruises on his torso and scratch marks on his chest that had earlier been visible.
And, crucially, a Reuters reporter who viewed the body said Gaddafi's head had been turned to the left. That means a bullet hole that earlier could be seen on the left side of his face, just in front of his ear, can no longer be seen.
