16 bodies were recovered from Kebitigollewa this evening, thought to be remains of civilians. A cattle herdsman tipped off the police following the detection of a human body and hand sticking out of a mass burial ground adjacent to the Kebitigollewa GS Division's town waste dump. 10 bodies were buried in one large pit and another six buried in an adjacent pit. All bodies had hands tied behind and killed execution-style. The mass burial maybe as old as 10 days, according to our sources. Further investigations are continuing.
Although LTTE is known to infiltrate Kebitigollewa through Gonamariyawa and other weak points, it is uncharacteristic of them to assassinate people like this and bury them in mass graves. However, anything is possible at the rate of recent civilian killings experienced in these areas.
