For Sri Lanka grave digger, a grim parade

Piyasri Gunasena rarely digs more than one grave a day at the Madampitiya cemetery in Sri Lanka's capital. "Police have not released all the remains yet but I think we will be busy for a while," he said as he dug his tenth grave of the day. "Every time I dig a grave for a child I think of my own granddaughter and I feel like crying," the 48-year-old told AFP, as sweat soaked his grimy t-shirt and tattered shorts.
