“The forensic experts and I collectively observed unusual cut marks visible on some of the bones,” Archeologist Raj Somadeva told JDS by telephone.

“We have also identified at least five children from among the 58 individual skeletons unearthed so far.”

Speaking to journalists at the mass grave site about the latest findings in 42 days of excavations, Professor Somadeva said the cause and time of lacerations can only be determined by thorough forensic examination.☐
