A presidential pardon could be considered for retired Maj. Wimal Wickramage, who has been ordered by courts to pay a Rs. 02 million compensation.

He was convicted of careless shooting that killed an LTTE suspect who had attempted to escape from custody.

At the cabinet news briefing yesterday (15), minister Rajitha Senaratne said the military officer has so far not made a request for a pardon or a payment of the compensation by the Army.

Military spokesman Brig. Roshan Seneviratne said the retired major had a good record while in service.
