An eyewitness has told the police that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was responsible for the recently unearthed mass grave site in Mullaitivu, the Police said today.
“A resident from the area said that he was an eyewitness of the incident and that the LTTE was responsible for the mass grave site. According to the eye witness the LTTE had buried the bodies in February 2009,” Police Spokesman SSP Ajith Rohana said.
Last Thursday a family stumbled upon the remains of at least nine bodies buried in their garden in Mullaithivu.
The police said the skeletal remains were taken for analysis by the Judicial Medical Officer in the area. (LSP)

Why would the government bother with unearthing the grave fully if it is they who did it? Grow up people, and stop undermining your own country. via DM Android App

OK, LTTE most likely did it. But then again who is going to believe Government's finding ? That is why we need a credible investigation conducted by an independent commission .

Suq Madique Monday, 03 March 2014 01:02 PM
But if he said the Govt was involved you'd have believed it without thinking

aiyo please Monday, 03 March 2014 12:29 PM
aiyo, please don't come up another story, blaming LTTE. We know how these eye witnesses are 'persuaded'. The big man had already said zero death caused by the military. That's it then. Why all these?

This is also another LTTE barbaric act that Government should response to international with live evidence. The countries those standing against us should be informed in professional manner by Sri lanka. then they will shut their stupid mounth against Sri lankan war crimes

Now the government will find many graves, then they can blame on LTTE.. Good Try..

Guy Monday, 03 March 2014 09:55 AM
Well, this is an opportunity for the government to ask UNHCR to investigate this mass grave independently and expose those behind it..
