Attack probe stalls

04 Aug 2019

Several key investigations being conducted by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) have stalled as the Sri Lanka Army had allegedly failed to provide the required information to take the investigations forward. A CID official, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Sunday Morning that they were unable to obtain the necessary information from the Army to complete the investigations. The incidents being investigated include the murder of former the Editor of The Sunday Leader Lasantha Wickrematunge, the disappearance of journalist Prageeth Ekneligoda, and assaults on journalist Keith Noyahr and former Editor of Rivira Upali Tennakoon. CID sources said the investigations were still being carried out and they could conclude the investigations immediately if the Army provided the necessary details. The investigation into Wickrematunge’s murder was launched in 2009, while the investigations into the Ekneligoda’s disappearance and assaults on Noyahr and Tennakoon had been launched in 2010, 2008, and 2009, respectively. When contacted, Army Spokesman Brigadier Sumith Atapattu denied the allegations levelled against the Army. He said the Army had so far provided all information that had been requested by the CID regarding the investigations. Asked whether there were any pending requests from the CID, Brig. Atapattu noted that there were no such pending requests. In June, the Attorney General had also instructed the Acting IGP and the CID to complete investigations and submit reports pertaining to four high-profile cases, including the murders of Wickrematunge and rugby player Wasim Thajudeen.
