The Sri Lankan police have cordoned off an area in Ariyalai, Jaffna after the discovery of the skeletal remains of two women earlier this week.
The police have reportedly brought forensic experts to exhume the area and denied entry to anyone else who attempted to access it.
The remains were discovered alongside a pair of sandals, womens’ clothing and stationery including pens and pencils – suggesting that at least one of the bodies belongs to a student.
