Account from a relative
Father:
I had only one daughter and she is the youngest one also. We were very fond of her. She was very kind with all. She was following Arts division in GCE Advance level at Kumulamunai Mahavidyalayam. She was very clever in her classes. She went to Vallipunam just to attend a leadership workshop. All of her friends were also to attend the workshop, so I didn’t want to stop her from attending the workshop. In the morning, on 14 August 2006, I knew that Kfir fighter jets were attacking, but I didn’t know where it was. It was about 10.00am, one of Raajitha’s friend who also attend the workshop but escaped injury came to my in a much tensed state and told me that Raajitha was also killed in the Kfir attack in the morning. My wife also was not with me at the time. She had gone to Vavuniya. Immediately after I heard the news I went to the hospital. I could see only seen my daughter’s dead body. There were no other children with us to look after me and my wife. Our other two children are in. Now, we have to lead a lonely life.
