21st June 1986

Wilgamwehera Village massacre

On 21st June 1986, a group of armed LTTE terrorists stormed Wilgamwehera hamlet in Trincomalee district and butchered 9 civilians including children.

It could be observed that the terrorists were increasingly using sharp weapons to kill and maim the innocent civilians in order give maximum horror to the victims and the onlookers. The terror stricken civilians started vacating the ancient villages they lived for generations and started moving towards south.
