The mass grave was first discovered when construction workers found two human skeletons on December 20th when digging in Thirukketheeswaram.
The following week, a further four skulls were unearthed, with more over subsequent weeks (see also here, here, here, here, here and here).
The Bishop of Mannar, who has called for an international investigation into the mass grave due to the lack of credibility associated with any internal process, had earlier said that the holes in many of the skulls were believed to be from gunshot wounds.
