The Tamil woman whose body was found yesterday in a well in Visvamadu has been named as 32 year old T. Rajasulosana.
Rajasulosana was found, floating in a well with lacerations on her neck, after barking dogs led to villagers discovering blood on the ground, which led them to discover the body, locals told the Tamil Guardian.
The body, which appeared to have been raped, was recovered by the villagers in the presence of police officers at 6.30pm today.
Rajasulosana was employed by the Sri Lankan army in the cultivation of toddy (palm wine) six to seven months ago said locals.
