  Case Report  26 January 2006

Robinson was following a course in computing at Thirunelveli in Jaffna for the last three years. He was boarding at a friend’s house in Thirunelveli to attend the course. He would visit the home of his parents about once a month. His parent’s home is in Vadamaradchi (address above) which is in the Jaffna peninsula that is under LTTE administration. To travel from his parent’s home in Vadamardchi to his friend’s home near Jaffna town he must travel through the SLA check point in Muhamalai.

Robinson visited his parent’s home of the 31st of December 2005 and returned to Jaffna to his friend’s house on 6th of January. He rang his parents after reaching Jaffna on the 6th January. His father rang Robinson’s friend on the 19th of January inquiring after Robinson. Robinson’s friend told the father that Robinson arrived on 6th January and had left on the 7th January saying he was going to his class and he did not return after that. Robinson’s friend explained that he had assumed that Robinson was back at his parent’s home when he did not turn up after the class. Presently this friend has also displaced from Jaffna.
