SUNDAY, 09 AUGUST 2015

He has information regarding how people were abducted with ‘white vans’, murdered and dumped bodies in the sea by murderous gangs maintained by the Ministry of Defense says former SSP and former police spokesman Prishantha Jayakody. Making a statement to the media former police spokesman said an armed group that had left the LTTE and joined the government was used for the murders.

He said former Secretary to the Ministry of Defense Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, who took law to his hands and acted in the most arbitrary manner, wanted him to justify murders and others crimes that were committed. When he refused to do so he was transferred to Batticaloa and plans were hatched to get him murdered by an armed gang in the east. He said he had to flee the country to save himself from being murdered.

“Those who were abducted by ‘white vans’ were murdered. This group was directly controlled by the Defense Ministry. There were Army personnel too in this group. It is this group that attempted to abduct the Mayor of Kolonnawa. The people caught this group and handed them over to Wellampitiya Police. However, DIG in charge of Western Province Anura Senanayaka released the perpetrators. Those who were involved in these crimes are still in service and they should be punished by a future government,” he further said.
