For the second day in succession, detectives are continuing to exhume the bodies of Lion Air victims. It is believed that the bodies had been buried by the LTTE in the Iranathivu and Kawdarimunai beaches after the plane was shot down by the terrorists in 1998. Fifty five passengers and crew members were said to have died in the crash. Pix by Romesh Madushanka
