Skeletal remains belonging to 53 individuals had been unearthed by yesterday from excavations of the mass grave in Mannar Sathosa Building Site, Judicial Medical Officer S. Rajapaksa said today.

He said the excavations of the site were being done under the supervision of Mannar Magistrate T.G. Prabhakaran.

He said 34 out of 53 skeletal remains that had been unearthed were sealed and placed at the Mannar Magistrate’s Court.

The excavations of the site began after some skeletal remains were found while digging a foundation for the Sathosa building by workers in March. (Romesh Madushanka)

Wait till some do a legitimate investigation. Because it could be the innocent LTTE babies responsible.

North is scattered with mass graves. This has nothing to do with Sri Lankan forces or the LTTE. One such was discovered in the Jaffna stadium few years ago,they were skeletons of men,women,and children. Mysteriously the discovery was hushed up.

At the moment, we can't blame any body. Hence the government should conduct a fair investigation to find the truth.

Instead of saying, dead buried themselves there, people find out the murders.
