Disturbing new images have emerged of
the dead body of the 12-year-old son of a Tamil leader that researchers
say could prove he was executed by Sri Lankan government forces.
The photographs of Balachandran
Prabhakaran, son of Velupillai Prabhakaran, head of the Liberation
Tigers of Tamil Eelam, were taken in May 2009 at the end of the
government's conflict with the rebels.
The
first pictures appear to show the child in the custody of Sri Lankan
forces and he is seen sitting on a bench wrapped in a blanket and eating
some food.
But photographs taken hours later on
the same camera show him lying on the ground, topless and his chest
riddled with bullet holes.
He has five holes to his chest and experts say he was shot at close range.
The series of photographs show he was even given a snack as he sat wrapped in a blanke
A picture taken hours later shows the boy lying dead on the ground with up to five bullet wounds to his chest
