The Matale Magistrate’s Court has ordered Kurunegala Teaching Hospital JMO Dr. Ajith Jayasena to hand over the human skeletal remains found from the Matale mass grave to the CID to be sent to the Beata Analyiic Archaeological Museum Laboratory in Florida, America for dating analysis.

This order was given by Matale Magistrate and the Additional District Judge Sampath Gamage on Wednesday after considering the submissions made in court by the CID.

The CID informed the court that the Presidential Special Investigation Commission had decided to send these skeletal remains to the Beata Analyiic laboratory considering the possible delay expected at the Archaeological and Physics Laboratory of the Beijing University in China.

Earlier the Matale Magistrate’s Court ordered these skeleton remains to be sent to the Beijing University.

The Presidential Commission headed by retired Supreme Court Judge S.I. Imam comprises former Parliament Secretary General Dammika Kithulgoda and retired Supreme Court Judge A.L. B.K. Atapattu.

154 pieces human skeletal remains were found on November 26, 2012 during excavations done for the erection of a Bio Gas Unit at the Matale General Hospital premises. (M.W. Somarathna)
