Three more human skeletal remains, including that of a child, were found from Chammani mass grave, where excavations resumed a day after the UN human rights chief visited the site in Jaffna.
Two of them were retrieved on 26 June itself, said lawyer and observer V.S. Niranjan.
By the time excavations were halted on 07 June for a lack of funding, skeletal remains of 21 persons had been unearthed there.
Among them were that of three children aged below 10 months, said forensic archaeologist Prof. Raj Somadeva, who leads the excavations.
UN human rights chief Volker Turk said at the gravesite on 25 June that an extensive, solid investigation by independent experts in forensic medicine were needed to find the truth.
Following instructions by the Jaffna magistrate, an undisclosed cost estimate for the excavations was submitted on 07 June.
Excavations resumed on the assumption that funding will be ready by Monday, said lawyer Niranjan.
