The CID has recorded a statement from former minister and UPFA MP Mervyn Silva today on the killing of Sunday Leader Newspaper Editor Lasantha Wickrematunga.

Mr. Silva earlier said that he knew the assailants of Mr. Wickrematunga.
Speaking to Daily Mirror, Mr. Silva said that he was asked to come to the CID office yesterday to give statements regarding to killings of Lasantha Wickremetunga and Loku Seeya, a former kapuwa of Ragama Devalaya.
“I was there for around one hour and I gave enough details to the CID about the two murders,” he said.(Deepa Adhikari)

Good. All these people make loose statements and they must be held accountable. Next, get his son who says he suspects Gota about various things.

Desmond Jeromme Thursday, 26 March 2015 06:27 PM

Ok, if he is a genuine man, he should have come out with the facts long ago. Why now?

May be Mervyn Silva seeks a ministerial position along with the other greedy SLFP pigs.

Though there is no reason to have waited all this while, atleast at this late hour, if he provides credible information,which could ensure the murderers whoever he/they may be punished for having committed such a crime. The punishment of course should be a substantial one.

Questions arise as to why he didn’t have the back bone to reveal these things then and there. But it’s worthwhile investigating his statements if some credible evidence could be unearthed.

In the first instant Mervyn should be arrested for withholding information on the murder of Lasantha!

Cyril n your comments are appreciated. Sri Lanka should have positive thinkers.

This is an example of how law was paralysed under MR regime. This man Mervyn the clown who publically said he knows who killed Lasantha is giving a statement ONLY now, since the law enforcement has been relieved of the paralysis by MR regime. Let the killers be caught even now!

If Dr Mervin had said it could have been accurate because he himself is the sort of and he was the pet of Rajapakses at a time

Because of fools like these only the previous government also came to its last breaths now these people are trying to act as saints as if his son and his sons have been priests for the whole time
