The body of LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, is to undergo DNA and forensic tests along with the corpses of other top rebels, said officials.

Prabhakaran was killed yesterday morning along with two of his deputies after a two-hour battle when they tried to break to freedom through advancing government troops, defence officials said. His body was badly burnt when his armour-plated van was hit by a rocket and burst into flames.
