Mit Bajonetten und Messern bewaffnete SLA-Soldaten drangen am 08. Juni 2006 in das Haus einer vierk\u00f6pfigen Familie ein und schlachteten sie ab. Die Familie war aus Tamileelam geflohen und lebte als Fl\u00fcchtlinge in Tamilnadu, wo sie erst vor eineinhalb Jahren nach Vankalai zur\u00fcckgekehrt war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vankalai, ein gro\u00dfes tamilisch-katholisches Dorf in Mannar (Tamileelam), ist st\u00e4ndigen Massakern und Einsch\u00fcchterungsversuchen seitens der srilankischen Armee ausgesetzt, die in dem Dorf einen gro\u00dfen St\u00fctzpunkt unterh\u00e4lt. Aus Furcht vor den Gr\u00e4ueltaten der Armee sind bereits viele Familien aus dem Dorf weggezogen. Fast das gesamte Dorf geht t\u00e4glich in der Abendd\u00e4mmerung zur Dorfkirche, um dort zu \u00fcbernachten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eine Gruppe von M\u00e4nnern der srilankischen Armee hatte die Nachbarn von Moorthy Martin, dem Dorfschreiner, aufgesucht und sie aufgefordert, ihre Personalausweise zur Kontrolle vorzulegen, da die Familie auf dem Weg zur Kirche war. Dann r\u00fcckte die Armeepatrouille zu Martins Haus vor. Da Martin erst sp\u00e4t von der Arbeit zur\u00fcckkehrte, warteten seine Frau und seine Kinder zu Hause auf ihn, um gemeinsam in die Kirche zu gehen und dort zu \u00fcbernachten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am n\u00e4chsten Morgen kehrten die Nachbarn nach ihrem n\u00e4chtlichen Kirchgang nach Hause zur\u00fcck, um nach Martins Familie zu sehen, die am Abend zuvor nicht in der Kirche erschienen war. Zu ihrem Entsetzen fanden sie die Leichen von Martin, 35, seiner Tochter, 09, und seinem Sohn, 07, blut\u00fcberstr\u00f6mt vom Dach des Hauses h\u00e4ngend. Am weiblichen Organ des kleinen M\u00e4dchens befanden sich zahlreiche Stichwunden, aus denen Blut tropfte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Der K\u00f6rper des kleinen Jungen war unterhalb der Rippen zerst\u00fcckelt. Die Leiche der 29-j\u00e4hrigen Mutter lag ausgestreckt auf ihrem Bett, mit einem Schuss, der ihr weibliches Organ durchbohrt hatte, vielleicht in der Erwartung, dass die Armee-Bandenvergewaltiger Beweise beseitigen w\u00fcrden. Die get\u00f6teten Tamilen waren: Mary Medaline (Chitra), 27, die Mutter, Moorthy Martin, 35, der Vater, Ann Nilxon, 7, der Sohn und Ann Luxica, 9, die Tochter. Martin war von Beruf Tischler. Die Soldaten haben die Opfer auch mit Schreinerwerkzeugen get\u00f6tet. Am Ort des Massakers wurden Stiefelabdr\u00fccke und ein Milit\u00e4rabzeichen mit Stern gefunden. Die Leichen wurden von Anwohnern der Gegend entdeckt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bei der Obduktion meldeten sich die Nachbarn freiwillig, um die Armee-T\u00e4ter zu identifizieren, und wiesen auf ein benutztes Kondom und einen Knopf einer Armeeuniform am Tatort hin. Auch drei Armeeuniformen wurden sp\u00e4ter gefunden. Der Kommandant des Armeest\u00fctzpunktes wies jedoch alle Anschuldigungen zur\u00fcck und bestritt bei einem Treffen mit dem Bischof von Mannar kategorisch, dass einer seiner M\u00e4nner an dem Vorfall beteiligt war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Augenzeugen in der Gegend, Thomaspuri Ward No 10 in Vankalai, haben dem Mannar Additional Magistrate mitgeteilt, dass sie die an dem Massaker beteiligten Soldaten identifizieren konnten. Die Dorfbewohner behaupten, die Mutter sei vor dem Massaker vergewaltigt worden. In Vankalai herrschen Spannungen. Religi\u00f6se F\u00fchrer, darunter der Bischof von Mannar, Parlamentarier und Mitglieder der Zivilgesellschaft in Mannar sind zum Ort des Geschehens geeilt. Beamte der Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission haben den Ort des Massakers besucht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SLA soldiers armed with bayonets and knives entered the house of a family of four and slaughtered on 08 june 2006. The family had fled Tamileelam and was living as refugees in Tamilnadu returning only a year and a half ago to Vankalai. Vankalai, a large Tamil Catholic\u00a0 village in Mannar,(Tamileelam)\u00a0 has been subject to continual massacre and intimidation from the Sri Lanka army men, who have a large base in the village. For fear of army atrocities, many families have already moved out of the village. Almost the entire village goes daily to the village church at dusk to stay the night. A group of Sri Lanka army men had called on the neighbours of Moorthy Martin, the village carpenter, and demanded them to produce their identity cards for checking as the family was leaving for the church. And then the army patrol moved to Martin’s house. As Martin was late to return from work, his wife and children waited at home for him, to go together to the church for the night stay. The following morning the neighbours returning home after their night-out at church, had gone to check on Martin’s family for not turning up at the church the previous evening. To their horror, they found the bodies of Martin, 35, his daughter 09, and son, 07, hanging from the roof inside the house, dripping blood. There were numerous stab-wounds on the female organ of the little girl, from which blood was dripping. The little boy’s body was dismembered under the ribs. The body of the 29 year-old mother lay sprawled on her bed, with gunshot ripping through her female organ, the army gang-rapists expecting to remove evidence, perhaps. The Tamils killed were: Mary Medaline (Chitra), 27, the mother, Moorthy Martin, 35, the father, Ann Nilxon, 7, the son and Ann Luxica, 9, the daughter. Martin was a carpenter by profession.  Soldiers have also used the carpenter tools to kill the victims. Bootprints and a miltary badge with star were found at the massacre site. Bodies were discovered by fellow residents of the area. At the post-mortem inquiries, the neighbours volunteered to identify the army culprits, pointed to a used condom and a button from an army uniform at the scene of crime. Three army uniforms also were discovered subsequently. But the commander of the army base has dismissed all charges and categorically denied involvement of any of his men in the incident, at a meeting he had with the Bishop of Mannar . Eyewitnesses in the area, Thomaspuri Ward No 10 in Vankalai, have told Mannar Additional Magistrate that they could identify the soldiers involved in the massacre. Villagers alleged the mother was raped before the massacre. Tension prevails in Vankalai. Religious leaders including the Bishop of Mannar, parliamentarians and civil society members in Mannar have rushed to site. Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission officials have visited the massacre site.
