The incident

Arumathurai Thanaluxmi went to bring her neighbor Moses Vijaya's son Antony Joseph from tuition in Killiveddy and while riding back she was taken to a milk collection centre and gang-raped and murdered by Sri Lankan Army soldiers. Antony Joseph who tried to stop the soldiers was also shot.[3][4][5] She was shot dead by Corporal Kumara, one of the eight accused in the massacre.[2]

Government Investigation

On July 27, 2016, an all-Sinhalese jury of the Anuradhapura High Court acquitted the six accused former soldiers.[2]
