Bags with human remains have been found in Nanthikadal, near Mullivaikkaal, reported the Uthayan.
The remains were found by a labourer from the area, who informed Northern Provincial Council member Mr. Ravikaran.
Ravikaran confirmed to the Uthayan newspaper that he saw several sacks of human remains, of which the skulls had bullet wounds in the forehead area, and said he suspected the bodies were those of members of the LTTE, executed during the end phase of the armed conflict.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
