Anura Senanayake is in further hot water by traffic OIC’s statement!

 May 17, 2016

Retired senior DIG Anura Senanayake is in further hot water, after the then traffic OIC of Narahenpita police, Inspector Sarathchandra gave a statement yesterday (16) to the CID, as per clause 127 of the criminal procedure code, in connection with the murder of Wasim Thajudeen.

It is Sarachchandra who has fearlessly stated since the beginning that there was suspicion with regard to Thajudeen’s death. Our website and other media investigated further on the basis of the information given by him within a few days after the incident and revealed its suspicious nature.

Crime OIC too, volunteers statement

Meanwhile, Inspector Sumith Champika Perera, who is in remand custody in connection with the case, has informed the CID through his lawyer that he too, was prepared to give a statement as per clause 127 of the criminal procedure code.

Accordingly, a statement is to be obtained from him today or tomorrow.

Also, the CID is to summon the then Narahenpita OIC, chief inspector Damien Perera, who gave a statement previously, and Senanayake too, this week.

There are reports that the ‘Yahapaalana’ regime is interfering with the affairs of the CID and the Attorney General’s Department, just like the Rajapaksas did. Citizens’s organizations and impartial journalists, who keep a close watch, stress to the government that it will spell the end of its rule if its leaders attempt to protect those who had masterminded the Thajudeen murder.

We already have information regarding persons who had interfered with the investigations, but we refrain from revealing them with the noble objective of allowing them an opportunity to correct their mistakes.
