‘Famous’ SSP Deshabandu is directly involved in Bharatha murder ! -here is the cogent and clear evidence


(Lanka-e-News-23.Oct.2011, 4.30A.M.) Lanka e news has received reports that ‘famous’ ( or infamous?) SSP Deshabandu Tennekoon is directly connected to the murder of Bharatha Laksman. It was revealed at the post mortem examination by witnesses from both sides when giving evidence that SSP Deshabandu Tennekoon and the OIC of the Mulleriyawa police station were in the vehicle convoy of the prime suspect Duminda Silva.

This Deshabandu SSP had been in the vehicle – a Pajero No. 64-0940 with tinted glass, reports say. With him a police officer Kamal of the Mirihana police had been in it. The security officer of the SSP Deshbandu Tennekoon had been in a Maruti vehicle behind his Pajero. Before this shooting incident , a T 56 weapon had been taken and hidden inside a pohora (manure) bag on the sly at a Temple called Kande Vihara at Kolonnawa and loaded into the Deshabandu’s vehicle.

At the time of the incident , Duminda had a security contingent of 12 police personnel provided by the MSD (Ministerial security division) . In addition, Deshabandu had provided three police officers , namely , Chamila, Hemantha and Ajth of the Mirihana police. At the time of the shooting, when Duminda instructed ‘shoot him , shoot him’, it was Police constable (51905) Vithanalage Anura Thushara De Mel who is in remand custody now who shot Bharatha. He is a cop who had been hand picked for assistance from the Mirihana police by Deshabandu SSP.

Releasing a cop from the mirihana police in this manner is itself an unlawful action. After the murder of Nanda Ellawala (MP Rathanapura), according to the laws enacted , if any MP is to be provided with additional security that must be provided from those among officers in his electoral division. Accordingly , if the Deshabandu SSP was to provide additional security to Duminda , he should have provided officers from the Wellampitiya or Mulleriyawa police. Then , how did the ‘famous’ Deshabandu provide the officer from the Mirihana police? Moreover , no sooner than Duminda instructed to ‘shoot him , shoot him’, why did this particular officer of the Mirihana police shoot Bharatha without batting an eyelid? Why was this Deshabandu hiding inside a tinted glass vehicle ? Where is that T 56 weapon he brought on the sly and unlawfully ?
Even after the Colombo crime division(CCD) IP Neville Silva had reported to the IGP that when he was traveling in his private Lancer vehicle he saw Deshabandu Tennekoon inside a tinted glass Pajero vehicle No. 64-0940 of Duminda Silva that day , why is the IGP keeping silent and suppressing everything? After the murder was committed by Duminda , and when the driver fled , it was the Pajero 64-0940 in which SSP Tennekoon traveled which went behind it giving protection . Who caused the accident to Neville Silva’s vehicle and halted it which trailed behind the Pajero?

After clear ,cogent and copious evidence have confirmed that SSP Deshabandu and Mulleriyawa OIC Nalaka Gunasekera that both of them had been at the scene when the quadruple murder occurred , what is the action taken by the IGP so far ? Why didn’t the CID question these two officers over these multiple murders ?

On that fateful day , despite the Elections Commissioner sending two written requests to the Police to stop the illegal activities and election offences committed by Duminda ,yet , this Deshabandu SSP and the Mirihana OIC Nalaka Gunasekera had , on the contrary been assisting Duminda in his atrocities . If these high rung police officers had duly taken action following the Elections Commissioner’s request , this tragedy could have been averted , and so many innocent lives would not have been lost. Is the IGP unable to make this appraisal or see these things in the correct light because his eyes and mind are filled with dross ?

Has the defense Secretary Gotabaya destroyed the IGP’s respect for laws and the ‘chastity’, if any , so much so that he is now left with the only choice of taking to the paddy fields with a loin cloth ?
