The bodies of four persons who were killed in the suicide explosions at Sainthamaruthu were exhumed to conduct DNA tests, today (Jun 7).

The bodies were exhumed in the presence of Ampara Chief Magistrate Asanga Hettiwatte after obtaining an order from the Kalmunai Magistrate's Court.
The samples from these bodies were extracted under the supervision of former Judicial Medical Officer Dr. Ruchira Nadeera.
