4 more skeletons unearthed at Mannar mass grave

The remains of four more humans were unearthed at the mass grave found last month at Thirukketheeswaram in Mannar, reports Uthayan.

A total of 36 remains have been found since
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. Last week, 8 more remains were found.

Last month the Bishop of Mannar called for an international investigation into the mass grave, dismissing any investigations by the Sri Lankan authorities, as lacking credibility.
