Burned remains are those of fugitive killer

BURNED remains in a California mountain cabin are those of the fugitive ex-policeman who launched a revenge campaign against Los Angeles Police Department, authorities said.

A spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County sheriff-coroner said the identification was made through Christopher Dorner's dental records. She did not give a cause of death.

The search for Dorner began last week after authorities said he had killed three people and had launched the revenge campaign for his sacking five years ago, warning that he would bring "warfare" to LAPD officers and their families.
