Former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka speaking to Daily Mirror online said the Army had “no information” about the deaths of slain LTTE leader V. Prabhakarans, “ wife, daughter and youngest son”.

“After the final battle which went on from 2009 May 17 night, 18 and 19th till about 10 o clock, we only recovered Prabakharans body together with about 400 other terrorist dead bodies, and his elder son’s body, his elder son Charles Anthony. These two bodies were personally identified by the present member, I think, of the cabinet Karuna Amman, who was the LTTE military wing leader at the time before he joined the government. He himself went and identified these two bodies” he said.

Speaking further Fonseka who led the Army to a decisive victory against the separatist LTTE, said the Army “did not have clue about the presence or whereabouts of” the rest of Prabhakarans family.

“Other than that the Army had no information, never had any positions of Prabhakrans wife, daughter and the youngest son. We did not have clue about their presence or the whereabouts, whether they were in the country or they died during the war, we didn’t have any information about them” said.

Fonseka in reference to the latest ‘pictures’ revealed by Channel 4, which are alleged to have been taken while the youngest son of the LTTE supremo Balachandran was in Army custody, reiterated that the Army had no knowledge or information about the youngest son.

“About these pictures I don’t know, we had no knowledge about this youngest sons whereabouts when I was the Army commander during my time and I can give the assurance that the Army had no information of his youngest son” he said. ( H.F)
