Bandarawela Police probe disturbing incident of body exhumation and undressing

Date:

January 07, Colombo (LNW): The Bandarawela Police have launched an investigation into a deeply disturbing incident involving the exhumation and undressing of the buried body of a 25-year old woman, who had recently passed away from pneumonia in Badulugasthenna, Bandarawela.

The body of the deceased, a resident of Bandarawela, was discovered exhumed on Sunday (07), indicating that an individual or a group was involved in this unsettling act.

The family had planned the seventh-day almsgiving ceremony for the deceased tomorrow (08), and the father visited the deceased’s grave this morning only to be confronted with this disturbing scene.

Upon witnessing the exhumation and the body being undressed, the family, including the father, promptly reported the incident to the Police.

Authorities in Bandarawela suspect that the body was intentionally exhumed and defiled.

In response to the discovery, the Bandarawela Acting Magistrate, along with Criminal Investigation Officers, examined the remains. Subsequently, the body was reinterred at the original location.

The Bandarawela Police have now initiated a thorough investigation into this distressing incident, aiming to identify and bring those responsible to justice.
