It has been 10 years since the end of Sri Lanka's devastating civil war.

Around 100,000 civilians and fighters from both sides were killed. Among them, a group of Tamil students was allegedly executed on a beach.

The case of the 'Trinco five' is one of the most widely known of the war, and is still being heard in court.

A father of one of the victims is vowing to continue the fight for justice.
