S. Maj. Udalagama pasted posters around Dileepa’s home!

Jul 18, 2016

It was Sergeant Major Udalagama, arrested on Friday and presently in remand custody, who had pasted threatening posters on the wall of the Athurugiriya home of senior state advocate Dileepa Peiris who leads the plaintiff in the Prageeth Ekneligoda case, Army sources say.

Also, Udalagoda had gone to the Nochchiyagama home of a retired Army intelligence member and threatened him with death, after he made a confession to the CID with regard to the killing of Ekneligoda.

A top Army official told us that the Army intelligence fund pays the legal fees for the cases pertaining to Ekneligoda and the Lasantha Wickramatunga murder. That particular fund’s account cannot be audited, said the official.

Senior advocate Shirash Noordeen represents the interests of Udalagama.
