Body of Tamil youth found hanging in Jaffna

The body of a 26-year-old Tamil youth has been found hanging in Navalar Road in Jaffna, reported the Uthayan.

The body has been identified as that of Ganesh Rukhshan, a labourer from Vavuniya.

Sri Lankan police, who are reportedly investigating the murder, have said the death could have been due to an argument that Rukhshan had with his friends, after a night of drinking. The cause of his death is still to be established.

When Rukhshan’s body was discovered, the entire premises had been set on fire.
