The Attorney Generals Department has asked the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to re-investigate the killing of 17 aid workers and six youth in Trincomalee District in 2006.
A senior CID officer told the Sunday Times that two teams have been assigned to carry out the probes on an urgent basis.
The 17 workers attached to the French aid agency Action contre la Faim (ACF) or Action Against Hunger were killed while they were in their office in Mutur, Trincomalee.
The six youth were killed while they were on a beach in Trincomalee.
These are two of the cases that the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) had drawn reference to in its report. |
