A cameraman works next to a panel displaying images of stolen paintings during a news conference at Romania's National History Museum, as forensic results of analysis of nails and ash of the stolen paintings, alleged to be burned, where presented to the media in Bucharest August 8, 2013. Three of the seven paintings stolen last year from a Dutch museum, a haul that included works by Picasso, Monet, Matisse, Gauguin, Lucien Freud and Meyer de Haan, were destroyed when the mother of a suspected thief set fire to them to destroy evidence that could incriminate her son, Niculescu said on Monday. The paintings were stolen from Rotterdam's Kunsthal museum in October last year when the thieves broke into the building, somehow evading the sophisticated alarm system. This year, police in Romania said they had detained members of a gang they suspected of carrying out the heist. REUTERS/Bogdan Cristel
