What is most significant in relation to these murders is that the evidence substantiating that they were murders had been provided by the Rajapakse regime itself.
There are a lot of contradictory evidence pertaining to the killing of S.K.Raja .
--------------------------------------------
While the official media Director of the State defense Ministry , Brigadier Wanigasuriya was making one statement regarding this death , the Government’s main state media newspaper Dinamina disclosed something else. The Army in regard to the death of Kamalaraja stated officially yesterday(11) at 2.22 p.m. as follows :
Lance Corporal S.K.Raja of the army intelligence corps met with sudden death during training due to shooting following the firing of a firearm of another soldier by accident . The army communiqué which states that the death occurred in the north of Vavuniya does not specifically reveal the exact venue . It says , 10th of April ,but does not state the time of the accident. This communiqué was issued 11th at 2.00 p.m. by the army. The Dinamina newspaper of 12th of the government in its last edition printed in the night after some hours of the issue of the army communiqué, under its caption ‘LTTE new leader Gopi dies after being shot down ; a corporal too dies in a shootout’ states thus :
Following a search operation conducted day before yesterday night (10) , during a confrontation ,
an army corporal has died , army sources revealed. The body of the deceased is lying at the Padaviya hospital. He is RajKumar , a resident of Kurunegala.
However , the government newspaper Dinamina belonging to the Transport Minister’s brother reported yesterday (12) that a member of the army intelligence Selvaraja who was attached to the Kilinochchi Kokavil army camp who sustained serious injuries in the conflict succumbed to his injuries after admission to Padaviya hospital .
The Magisterial inquiry was conducted 11th evening on the murdered Kamalaraja. Sirimevan Mahendraraja the Kebithigollawa magistrate had conducted this inquiry most unlawfully. Although it is obligatory that he should go to the venue of the murder and do an inspection , he had instead visited the Padaviya hospital and after casting a cursory glance at the body , given the verdict.
The magistrate is not a judicial medical officer or a detective and he cannot give a verdict without visiting the scene of the crime and holding an inquiry before witnesses. He certainly does not have divine knowledge to do so.
With the international investigation to probe the incidents in Sri Lanka (SL) in the pipeline , the improper and unlawful verdict of the magistrate unfortunately renders him liable to a charge of serious dereliction of duties , and illicitly aiding and abetting in the conspiracy to murder S.K.Raja.
According to information reaching Lanka e news in connection with these ghastly murders and the spurious drama :
———————————————————————————————
following our exposure on the Rajapakse regime’s drama involving yesterday’s murders while in the process of ‘creating’ a new ‘LTTE’ leader , we are in receipt of more evidence .
Evidence of Kokavil camp army officer :
————————————————————————-
A high ranking army officer of the Kilinochchi Kokavil camp told Lanka e news that the so called LTTE leaders Selvanaygam Kapeepan alias Gopi, Sunderalingam Kapeepan alias Theviyan , Navaratnam Navaneethan alias Appan and army intelligence division soldier S.K.Raja for a long time were in the Kilinochchi Kokavil camp.
This high ranking officer who did not wish to reveal his name added, Gopi was a mess boy engaged in cooking , and the other two were doing laborer jobs. When the war ended , all these three individuals surrendered to the forces claiming that they were forcibly made members of the LTTE, and later were assisting the forces. These individuals were under S.K Raja of the intelligence division . Nevertheless , since one and half months ago the four of them were not to be seen , and it was learnt that they have been transferred to another camp, the high rung officer disclosed.
The same officer gave those details of the four individuals confirmed they were killed yesterday :
ASP R.C.D Senadheera ‘s report :
————————————————————
The media personnel were not taken to the scene of the crimes.
It is the report of the ASP R C D Senadheera that has been received by Lanka e news as second witness based on the records made by him in the high rung police officer’s record book. This is a three and a half pages record. According to that , when the suspects were trying to escape after shooting at the army , the army had retaliated . However there is no record in the book that any weapon had been found in the vicinity of the bodies of the dead suspects. The record only stated there were blood stains at the venue , 4 haversacks used by the forces , four long term using food packets of the forces and a tent. The records of Sendheera significantly do not make mention of any weapons.
Report made by Puliyankulam OIC Mohomed Jamal :
————————————————————————————
The third evidence received by us was that of Puliyankulam OIC Mohomed Jamal IP . What he has recorded is in the daily record book in two and half pages . His record states that about 2500 army personnel took part in the raid , and about the vehicle that were used , and that Gopi , Theviyan and Appan died in the retaliatory shooting by the army. As there are no emergency regulations currently , the empty cartridges and the weapons have not been handed over to the police.
Besides , in his record there is nothing mentioned about the weapons used by the murdered LTTE ers . What the OIC pastes in that book are most vital and paramount. This OIC Jamal who has made it a point to record the positions of the dead bodies and the Army long term food packets has made his record thus :
During the confrontation , Selvaraja Kamalaraja-ordinary soldier No. 776927 who was attached to the army intelligence division sustained gunshot injuries and was dispatched to the hospital.
This is a police record that cannot be changed , and the police commanding quarters , DIG north , DIG north central , senior DIG crimes , and all intelligence division officers have been informed about this .
The unlawful post mortem
——————————————————
During the period when there exists no emergency regulations a, a magisterial inquiry ought to be held , and that must be conducted by the magistrate under of that magisterial zone where the murder was committed. Yet in this case , the inquiry had been conducted by the Anuradhapura magistrate.
Like how the inquiry was wrongfully and unlawfully conducted by Sirimevan Mahendraraja , the Kebettigollawa Magistrate into the death of S.K.Raja , the Anuradhapura magistrate too had acted wrongfully and unlawfully in the discharge of his official duties . The most ludicrous part of this inquiry is , this magistrate who had been chosen has no knowledge at all of the Tamil language .
