 Monday, 23 February 2015

Former police media spokesman SSP Prishantha Jayakody, who was forced to flee the country following death threats by former defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, is due to return home from Sydney, Australia tomorrow (24), reports say.

Since seeking political asylum in Australia in January 2014, he had been living in Sydney, and he will be back as there is no issue with regard to threats to his life following the appointment of a new government.

He will hold a special media briefing at Hotel Galadari in Colombo to explain reasons for his having had to flee the country. Then, he will return to his duties as a policeman. According to police department sources, he will be handed over several special investigations that are progressing slowly at present.
