They are linked to the violent attacks on former Chief Editor of 'Rivira' newspaper - Upali Tennakoon and his wife as well as to the attack on former Chief Editor of 'The Nation' newspaper - Keith Noyer.
This has been revealed in the CID investigations conducted over Mr. Wickremetunga's murder after the investigation team had looked into whether the suspects were linked to other crimes.
According to reports, probe teams say that such investigations have proven to be difficult as unsolved murders, abductions and assaults during recent times have been planned meticulously and various groups used for spying, following and assaulting were prevented from keeping connections with each other.
However, as the assailants of Mr. Wickremetunga have been identified, the identities of those who ordered the attack will be revealed soon, reports add.
However, authorities have been unable to arrest them as the Army has not provided details of these suspects.
