Sri lanka will on Monday launch a magisterial inquiry into a suspected mass grave found in a former conflict zone where the army battled Tamil Tiger rebels.
The suspected mass grave in the North-East district of Mannar is the first one found after the end of the military campaign against the lTTE four years ago.“A magisterial inquiry will begin on Monday after the discovery of four more skulls,” said Senior Superintendent Ajith Rohana, a police spokesman.
On Friday, workers of the National Water Supply and Drainage Board found skeletal remains when they were digging to lay water pipes adjacent to a road in Mannar, Rohana said. There were six skulls among the remains found on Friday and four more were found on Sunday.
