Keheliya Says Two Suspects Arrested
By Camelia Natheniel
Minister of Media and Information and Government spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella said that two people have been arrested in connection with the shooting incident of The Sunday Leader journalist Faraz Shauketaly.
He said that the Criminal Investigation Department had made a breakthrough in the investigations regarding the shooting incident.
Surprisingly Rambukwella and the Police spokesman SSP Jayakody made contradictory statements with regard to the status of the investigation.
Rambukwella maintained, “Several persons had been taken in for questioning and their statements recorded. Two persons had also been arrested with regard to the shooting. The motive for the shooting has been established, though it is too early to comment on that, and the reason for the shooting will be revealed very soon,” he said.
Speaking to The Sunday Leader Police spokesman SSP Jayakody said that the Mount Lavinia police had indeed arrested two persons, but it had not been in connection to the shooting of Shauketaly.
“Two persons had been arrested on Thursday by the Mount Lavinia police in connection with another incident which is not connected to this incident and it is a separate one altogether. The Criminal Investigation Department is handling the case and we expect a breakthrough very soon. However so far no suspects have been identified and the motive for the shooting has also not bees established as yet,” he added. Shauketaly was shot at his residence on Friday February 15, by three unidentified men and suffered injuries to his lower neck.
Is it just to please UN or are these two people really invovled in the shooting. Why did they shoot the Sunday Leader reporter? Was it a personnel revenge? Or did somebody order this attack. Can your government do a impartial investigation.
Lies…damned lies and Guinness book of tom pacha as usual from the Minister of Media and Information and Government spokesman Kehel Mala Rambuk Walla.
Under Investigation for ever, No end. Keheliya “why don’t you jump off your balcony again” That makes NEWS.
There is no doubt that this was carried out by Kangetta. IGP should make a statement soon inculpating Kangetta
May be that Keheliya is still haunted by Kangotta.
Two completely contradictory statements have been made.Whom are we to believe?
Show me one suspect who was ever convicted on Government orchestrated assasination or murder, especially in the Rajapakse government. At least the damn LTTE assasinated and murdered all the Tamil and Sinhala intellects and claimed responsibility for their murderous campaign.
This is an anti Buddhits Islamic man. what rights they give in islamic countries for Buddhism. have you written an article about Thungasiri?
Keheliya!!! You are up to tricks again!!
