Evidence unfolding before courts on Lasantha's Murder


2018-03-28 

The unfolding evidence the Criminal Investigation Department is now gathering reveals how the former Head of Sri Lanka Police is alleged to have had in his possession the most vital evidence which was destroyed to thwart the investigations conducted into the brutal murder of former Editor of The Sunday Leader Lasantha Wickrematunge. 


  • The DIG had then instructed Sugathapala to remove the pages of the GCIB where he had entered the notes
  • It was at that point that DIG Nanayakkara had warned Sugathapala and revealed that he was following a directive
  • According to Adikari, he and Sugathapala had become helpless and the pages of the GCIB had been removed
  • Adikari has further stated how DIG Nanayakkara told him that the IGP had wanted to destroy the evidence leading to Wickrematunge’s murder
  • On October 10, 2016, the CID got the relatives of these two Tamil youths to identify the dead using the pictures of the charred bodies
