 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.
