Human remains found in vacated military base in Batticaloa

02 Nov  2016
Locals in Batticaloa found human skeletal remains within an area of land that was previously used by the Sri Lankan military as a base. 

The remains were found while locals were digging for sanitation in a house opposite the Mariamman temple in Murakkoddaanchenai.

Locals believe that the area may reveal further remains as many Tamils went missing after being taken to the former military base during the 1990s. 

The police have been informed of the incident.
