The LTTE started its ethnic cleansing in 1984. The first Sinhala civilians to be massacred were from two farming villages in Mullaitivu called Kent Farm and Dollar Farm. Except for a few, all the civilians living in these two villages were massacred.

On 30th Nov 1984 a group of heavily armed Tamil Tigers attacked and killed 33 unarmed Civilians at Doller farm and 29 unarmed Civilians. The officials said tigers had scrambled from two buses, spraying submachine-gun and rifle fire and throwing grenades as they herded civilians into buildings and then blew up the buildings.

Little children had been killed by holding them by their legs and banging their little heads against walls. At the scene there were babies with crushed heads, and pieces of brain matter on the walls, right above where these babies lay dead.
