Weliveriya protest outcome?: 7 dead bodies washed ashore - why bodies buried secretly?



(Lanka-e-News-08.Aug.2013, 11.30PM) Seven dead bodies have been washed ashore since Saturday 3 rd until yesterday along the coast of two Islets in the north , and it is learnt that government is deeply in its toils trying to hide this mystery, according to reports reaching Lanka e news inside information division. 


Two bodies were first found washed ashore at Punguda theevu islet , on 3rd Saturday. It is reported that the criminal defense secretary Gotabaya had given orders to bury them without a post mortem examination. Accordingly they have been buried.

The age range of these two dead bodies is 27-28 years and 30-32 years , and they are male youths. One of them was nude while the other was only wearing a blu colour jockstrap. There were no bullet wounds on both bodies. On one body the neck spine was fractured while on the right knee of the other there was a large hole suggesting that the victim had been dragged a long distance along the ground. There were indications that the big toes of the two feet were tied of one victim. 

Both these bodies had been interred secretly .

The people of Kayts Islet too have informed the police on the next day , (4) at 11.20 a.m. that four bodies were seen on the shores . These bodies had been partially eaten by fish , and except one all the others were nude. They were all males in the age range of 25 to 45 years. However none of them had bullet wounds though one body had a cut on the back spine . As all these bodies were in a state of decay they were emitting a foul odour. Like in the earlier case , the spine on one of the dead bodies had been broken due to assault. All the victims were about 5’6” in height.

The 7 th victim washed ashore at the Pungudu theevu coast ,was notified to the police by the people on yesterday. Pungudu theevu is the largest Islet of Sri Lanka.

Two bodies had been buried secretly while the other five bodies are in the mortuary of the Jaffna police. As the refrigeration facilities are inadequate there , these bodies cannot be kept there for a long time.

There are no special signs to indicate that the dead are Tamil Nationals . According to LeN inside information division , they are on the face of it Sinhalese. It is specially significant to note that these bodies have been discovered after the recent Weliveriya genocide committed by a group of the army.

The most crucial and pertinent question is , while attempts are being made to belittle this grave crime by painting a picture that it was just akin to a quarrel between women over a safety pin , how come so many dead bodies are emerging on the shores out of a quarrel over a safety pin ? Much more puzzling are the cold and calculated attempts to bury two of the bodies secretly on Gotabaya’s orders . Why were such illegal orders given?

May we recall that LeN reported on the 5th that three dead bodies that were dispatched to Apollo hospital were ordered to be destroyed by Gotabaya , and 20 individuals have disappeared following the Weliveriya protests.

Every month the police has to make a PP 3 gazette notification and via it all the names of those who went missing shall be included . But after criminal Gotabaya became the defense Secretary , the publication of the PP3 had ceased. Consequently , it had become difficult to establish the connection between the dead bodies discovered and those gone missing .
