Bharatha murder investigation dragged down to disgraceful level and a sorry pickle : witness made suspect


The investigation into the murder of Bahratha Lakshman in the quadruple murder has been dragged down to the level of the culprit’s mother inquiring into the crime. This is borne out by the fact that a main witness for Bahratha Lakshman being made a suspect and taken into custody two months after the murders occurred . The suspect so arrested is Bahratha Lakshman’s security police officer who himself sustained injuries in the shootout.


It is alleged that the CID which is conducting the investigations has found two cartridges of a pistol used in the shooting of Duminda and they have identified the pistol which was supposedly used in the shooting. The most perplexing issue is ,the weapon used to spray 40 bullets on Bharatha Lakshman being not identified or the cartridges being not found , though the pistol used to shoot Duminda had been supposedly identified.. Mind you , there were three others who died in this ghastly murder , and not one cartridge have been found in that connection.

Vanquished Karu Jayasooriya and victorious Sajith Peremadasa went to meet Kandy Mahanayakes again yesterday (25). When giving a ‘voice cut’ after the meeting to the media , Karu said , an impartial inquiry into the attack on the party headquarters is anticipated ,and groups from outside had gained entry into the headquarters on that day.


On the day of the incident , following the attack ,both Karu and Sajith , addressing the crowds stated openly that the marauding groups who intruded are those who came to support them .They also did not forget to thank them. All this reprehensible conduct of the duo was reported by the local media world wide. Now , Karu and Sajith after meeting the Mahanayake are trying to indulge in play acting and give the impression to the public that they are paragons of virtue who are incapable of committing any wrong.
