The Counsel for Baratha Lakshma Premachandra, Upali Kumarapperuma told court today that the CID is "fabricating evidence" when the case was taken up today. The Counsel further went on to point out that initially the CID had only said that they found two shots were released from R. Gamini the bodyguard of Premachandra but now they have come to the conclusion that the first shots were fired by him.

The Counsel said this subsequent to the CID stating in court that they had evidence to prove that the first shot in the Baratha Lakshman shooting was fired by Police Constable R. Gamini attached to Lakshman’s security. Jagath Abeynayake representing R. Gamini said that  the witness who had identified R. Gamini as the first to shooter had by an affidavit stated that he did not make any such statement to the CID. (TFT)

    What is new ?

    John Tuesday, 31 January 2012 10:08 AM

    ....and frightening at the level of interference and adulteration?

    Why complain...Bharatha's family gets compensation for his death that is equal to more than 1000 times the amount an ordinary citizen like me would ever dream of getting. The GOSL has spent public money on Duminda for his medical treatment amounting to values where we could have eradicated dengue and saved many young deserving lives than a branded maniac. We are the buffaloes in the end who have to carry the burden.

    sad situation indeed.

    We knew this from day one? It will be a cover up

    Rohan Tuesday, 31 January 2012 08:39 AM

    Baratha family should be happy as the CID did not claim that Baratha himself fired the shot at himself. Better yet, they would have not showed a suicide note by Baratha.

    It's not strange in "Five star democracy".

    UD_NEMESIS Tuesday, 31 January 2012 07:05 AM

    Corruption, bribery, state secrets... what could be more worse enough to hide the truth from us?

    jamaldeen Tuesday, 31 January 2012 07:06 AM

    whom can the innocent people TRUST.
    A shame on Sri Lanka and it's people.
