Bail granted to suspects not only in Ekneliyagoda’s but even Lasantha’s murder confirming ‘Sirisenalization’ of judiciary

-Wijedasa and Shiral mounted illegal pressures on judge Amal !

(Lanka-e-News -30.Oct.2016, 9.00AM) Sergeant major Premananda Udalagama, a  prime suspect in the ghastly cold blooded  murder of editor Lasantha Wickremetunge , and a leader of the murder squad of Gota was yesterday released on bail. This was the latest in the series of callous release of suspects who were involved in the brutal ruthless murders of journalists during the  nefarious decade , coming closely on the heels of  the recent odious and outrageous ‘cyanide ‘ speech of the president , and  clearly evident illicit ‘Sirisenalization’ of the sacrosanct independent judiciary.

When this case was called up yesterday before the Mt. Lavinia Magistrate court , magistrate Mohomed Shabdeen decided to enlarge the suspect on a cash bail of Rs. 50,000.00 and three surety bails in sums of Rs. 500,000.00 each during the non summary trial that is being heard under the criminal procedure code , despite the fact , never before suspects were  so released on bail.

It was the opinion of the legal luminaries that this is obviously and clearly the outcome of  secret  and stealthy ‘Sirisenalization’ of the judiciary.

Even after Rivira Editor Upali Tennekoon identified Udalagama as the suspect who attacked and attempted to kill him , the Gampaha magistrate Kaveendra Nanayakkara earlier on enlarged Udalagama on bail. Besides , the case is now being heard most eccentrically . Kaveendra instead of deciding duly on the assault launched on Tennekoon is now focusing on how Lanka e news is receiving   information ? 

The photo of Udalagama posted by Lanka e News was referred to in court with a view to resort to  this diabolic diversion from the actual subject matter of the case .Today (28) ,when this case was being heard , the CID was ordered to furnish a report on Lanka e News today. Might we state , Lanka e news has already complained to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and the Attorney General in relation to the topsy turvy manner in which this judge hears cases. 

Udalagama the suspect in Lasantha’s murder and attempted murder of Upali , was in remand custody for a relatively short period of 3 months. By granting bail to such a dangerous suspect who led a murder squad , and allowing him room to mingle in society freely is most portentous , and is to endanger the entire  society . There are 17 witnesses for Lasantha’s murder case , and they could all be  in peril  since  this notorious Udalagama the criminal can be a serious source of threat  and intimidation to them, without any trace of doubt.

It were Wijedasa and Shiral who exerted pressure on judges to release murderers on bail !

Meanwhile it is none other than the minister of justice Wijedasa Rajapakse and President’s two penny half penny co ordinating secretary Shiral Lakthileke , the brief-less black coated shark and NGO culprit who have  mounted intense pressure via phone calls on Avisawella high court judge Amal Thilakarathne on the 24 th to release the prime suspects  , army Lieutenant  Colonel Shammi Arjuna   and sergeant major Rajapakse Mudiyansalage Priyantha Kumara Rajapakse in the Ekneliyagoda abduction and murder case . Amal Thilakarathne himself has made a confession in this regard. 

Amal Thilakarathne who is addicted to liquor had divulged the whole truth when under the influence of liquor to a friend . Shiral  being  a ‘bottle friend’ of Amal  had assured that he would shield and safeguard him , Amal had further revealed .(The voice tape in this regard is with Lanka e news) 

At the same time , based on reports ,the investigators conducting investigations into the murders of Lasantha and Ekneliyagoda have also been threatened and pressurized. Details pertaining to these criminalities we shall  reveal shortly  .

There was a rising tide of public opinion locally and internationally when the Rajapakses were leaving no stone unturned to safeguard the criminals involved in the murders of journalists , Lasantha and Ekneliyagoda    during the period of the oppressive and despotic Rajapakse regime.  It was at that time Maithripala Sirisena as the common opposition candidate came to power after making most solemn pledges to the people , and swearing publicly he would conduct impartial and independent investigations into these crimes , and duly mete out punishment to the culprits.

Miathripala at no  stage or time prior to  8 th January 2015  say , he would show sympathy if the suspects or criminals are from the forces. Neither did he announce  what action he would take against his minister of justice and his coordinating secretary if they mount illegal pressures and threats on the judges to grant bail to criminals .

In other words  , the nation  even  in its wildest dreams never believed based on Maithripala’s  loud assurances and solemn promises that his justice minister and his coordinating secretary would be this villainous or traitorous towards the masses who risked their lives and worked with commitment  day and night to propel the president to power . This buffoonery and tomfoolery are therefore  least expected  from a president by the people on whose backs  he  rode gleefully  to the winning post  when he was being threatened with death by Gotabaya and Rajapakses at every turn.

Granting bail to murderers ignoring AG’s advice by court is serious ‘Sirisenalization’ of judiciary.!
Shocked legal luminaries bemoan
