Three skeletal remains were found last week in a toilet pit, close to a former Sri Lanka Army (SLA) sentry post, at Uthayanakar in Kilinochchi said sources. The skeletons had their hands tied behind their backs, and the skull of one showed damage from a heavy blow, they said.

The skeletons are believed to be of people who had returned to examine their homes, which they had fled after the Sri Lanka Army took moved into Kilinochchi in late 1996.

It is believed that the residents had been arrested and subsequently killed by the SLA troops in the region.
