Former Police Spokesman Accuses Ex DIG
Aug 16, 2015
A former police spokesman has accused a former Senior DIG of attempting to cover up the evidence over the murder of former rugby player Wasim Thajuddeen.
The former police spokesman said that former Senior DIG Western Province, Anura Senanayake, has to be brought before the law to find out why he allowed evidence into Thajudeen’s murder to be covered up resulting in the assumption that he was killed in an accident. “There was so much substantial evidence to suspect the death to be a murder although the Narahenpita police did not carry out a proper investigation on the directives of Senanayake,” the former police spokesman said on conditions of anonymity.
“Although I wasn’t in the country at that time, I followed the incident carefully. According to the law, at such a fatal accident, the police have to summon the Magistrate and conduct a proper investigation. But in this case the police did not follow the procedure. They immediately removed the vehicle from the scene and the place was washed to erase any further evidence, the former policeman claimed.
