A New Zealand woman says she has Ned Kelly's skull, one of Australia's most sought-after relics.
Anna Hoffman, 74, was given the skull 30 years ago while on holiday in Melbourne by a security guard who told her it was "Ned's head".
When she read recently that the famous outlaw's skull was missing, she was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery.
The discovery has raised the interest of the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, which matched Kelly's remains to the DNA of a surviving relative.
Ms Hoffman, who courted notoriety as a witch in the 1960s and '70s, told New Zealand's Herald On Sunday newspaper she was given the skull by a mysterious uniformed man at a family dinner in 1980.
