"set" - 130 sets of human remains
Hi,
what do they mean by "sets", please? Do they mean "pieces"?
It is taken from a BBC news report on a German nurse who killed 100 people between 1999 and 2005. (I guess that is a proper Halloween topic.)
"The current trial, which started with a minute's silence for the victims, is expected to last until May. It follows years of toxicology tests on 130 sets of exhumed remains."
Thanks.
