He was assassinated along with 9 other military officers in a land-mine explosion in Jaffna peninsula in August 8th of 1992. On August 8th 1994 army erected a memorial on the location where the Tamil Tiger Terrorists (LTTE) blew the land mine which killed the Lieutenant General.

There is also a replica of how the blasted jeep would have been setup at the road side.

This is a memorial built in the memory of the popular army general Denzil Kobbekaduwa. His vehicle got caught to a bomb planted by the terrorists. With him several other army personnel had to sacrifice their lives and only one soldier survived. He too lost his two legs. There were rumors that it was an inside job by the then government because the general was seen as an imminent threat to the president as he was gaining so much popularity among the common people. It is said that the bomb was planted in his vehicle itself. An international investigation had been carried out to find the truth. During that the investigators had blown up two similar vehicles with similar weights, one was blown up by a bomb planted inside and the other by an outside bomb. Those blown up vehicles are now put in here for the observation. From the investigation it was confirmed that the blast was infact by an outside bomb thus relieving the government from the blame. Yet many do believe the investigation was biased.

Don't forget to visit general Kobbakaduwa's memorial site where he was attacked. A small monument was there with pictures of our beloved war heroes as well. Now the place is being maintained by few army officers. Issue is the road heading to the place which is full of small pits and you will swing up and down.
