Namal intimidated Thajudeen’s murder probe!

Mar 08, 2016

Namal Rajapaksa had reportedly intimidated the police as investigations into the mysterious death of rugby player Wasim Thajudeen were underway. One of the most powerful figures of the previous regime, he had ordered a top police official to release the body immediately. This is stated in police records submitted when the investigations were handed over to the CID.

The finger is pointed at the Rajapaksa juniors over the Thajudeen killing, and Namal’s having intimidated police confirms it further. Recently, it came to light that retired senior DIG Anura Senanayake, one of the closest associates of the Rajapaksa family at the time, had directly got involved in the investigation.
