Vavuniya police recovered two unidentified bodies, hands bound with cloth, with bullet wounds in Thavasikulam area in Vavuniya, Monday evening. The Police said the bodies were found in the same spot where bodies of three Tamil civilans were found on Friday, and speculated revenge may have been the motive behind the crime.

No identity documents were found in possession of the two dead men. The Police said both appear to be around 25-years, and are from Kuliyapitty area in Kurunagala.

The men killed Monday were shot dead when they drove to Thavasikulam in a van carrying goods manufactured by 'Ayoma', a firm that produces ice-cream and cool drinks. The van is in the custody of the police.

Vavuniya district magistrate inspected the bodies and ordered post mortem to be held.
