Police said they recovered the dead bodies after the villagers notified them.

Thinusika's relatives have alleged that the killers of the girl were paramilitary operatives who have been demanding 3 million rupees in ransom.

Thinusika is the daughter of Satheeskumar Santhirarajah who was abducted and slain two years ago allegedly by Karuna Group paramilitary men, who demanded ransom.
