What has happened to the twenty four years old Mrs Anita Annaligam, mother of two children kidnapped by the army in the broad day light in the Jaffna town?
Anita was in the LTTE and left the movement soon after the Ceasefire Agreement between the government forces and the LTTE in 2002. She got married and was living a peaceful life detached from any LTTE activities.
She was very pretty and of fair complexion our source confirmed.
The military intelligence came to know she was a LTTE cadre and sent out a message to her to attend their 512 camp in Jaffna. In fear, she did not turn up as ordered.
She was living at Potpathy Road, Kokkuvil with her family.
On the fateful day of March 21, 2008, she was going to the Jaffna General Hospital. She was kidnapped by the army officers on the way and taken to the notorious 512 camp.
She was repeatedly raped by many soldiers and murdered and her body was mutilated with the use of acid. Her face, breasts and her genitalia were disfigured brutally and with the acid. The body was then dumped in an abandoned house in Osmania Road in Jaffna.
The body was found after three days when stench was coming to the neighbouring houses. It was later removed to the Jaffna Hospital mortuary and from there, family took custody of the body and undertook the cremation.
It is now known that the Ranith group within the army had carried out this heinous crime. The group headed by the army officer Ranjith is claimed to have carried several rapes and murders with the impunity and silence observed by the families of the victims.
