Two Tamil men have been arrested on suspicion of carrying out a sword attack three months ago, Koppay police said.
A 24-year-old and a 28-year old were arrested on Tuesday in connection with a sword attack in Neerveli in May.
Initially three Tamil youths had been arrested by Koppay police in connection with the attack but witnesses did not identify any of them during the identity parade. A further two arrests were made. All five were kept in remand for a month and then released on bail.
The Jaffna Magistrate judge ordered the two new suspects to be remanded until the 23rd August.
