The Lidula police said that the body found by the Lindula police on the top of the Great Western mountain in Talawakele yesterday was handed over to her Nityanukula husband and relatives.
Her husband has identified the dead woman’s body from the tattoo on her left hand with the word “Madusankha”. Investigations are being conducted to arrest the people who came with this woman to the Great Western mountain peak.
