The CID yesterday informed Colombo Chief Magistrate Darshika Wimalasiri that it had recorded statements from several people having close connections to former president Mahinda Rajapaksa’s family in connection with the killing of former rugby captain Wasim Thajudeen.

It also informed Court that it was investigating two Navy vehicles which had been used under suspicious circumstances between May 1, 2012 and May 30, 2012.

Meanwhile, Deputy Solicitor General Dilan Ratnayake informed Court that the CID needed more time to investigate the suspicious phone calls, which had originated from the presidential secretariat, the president’s house and Temple Trees at about the time the killing had taken place.

The Magistrate fixed the next hearing for May 3. (Yoshitha Perera)

Of course, Its easy to find evidence of a true crime, but not easy to find evidence for a made up story.

Let him Rest In Peace without disgracing him before every bloody election for the benefit of the politicians.

It’s a shame that the gov revives this story closer to he election. Like the bond scam the public are fully aware who the murderes and cover-up agents are. Please give this family clear justice Mr PM and president. It’s just not fair to keep winning elections on such stories. Nail the murderers who the like of this innocent youth.
