 The
headless body of a youth of Naranthanai who was abducted from his home on
Wednesday by unidentified men was found on Thursday evening at Nerunchimunai
area in Kayts in the islets of Jaffna, relatives said. Kayts is under the
control of Sri Lankan Navy (SLN). The body of the youth, Daniel Quinton,
24, was identified by his relatives and later taken to the Jaffna Teaching
hospital for autopsy. The boy was likely first shot dead by the abductors
and later beheaded, the hospital sources said. The severed head has not been
found yet. A headless body of another youth was found in an abandoned well
in the same islets region last week. Only the torso without the hands and
legs was recovered in this case, eyewitnesses said.The unidentified torso
lies in the Jaffna Teaching hospital morgue for identification. The killings
have shocked the area residents.
