It has been decided to carry out a DNA test in order to confirm the identity of the body of Sri Lankan national Anula Jayathilake, who was reported missing and later confirmed dead by the Israeli authorities, Sri Lankan Ambassador to Tel Aviv Nimal Bandara said.

He points out that accordingly, the relevant DNA test will be carried out with the samples obtained from her two children and the sister.

Thus, it has been requested to send the relevant samples to Israel, Mr. Bandara added.
