The Police Media Spokesperson SSP Ajith Rohana said at the press briefing Monday that statements have been recorded from seven Navy personnel regarding the disappearance of 10 children during the 2008/2009 period.

In 2010 the CID had commenced investigations into complaints received over the disappearance of some youth and their parents between the period of 2007 and 2009 in Colombo and in Trincomalee.

The police media spokesman said the CID has interrogated the officer in charge of the investigation unit of the Sri Lankan Navy, Commander D. K. P. Dassanayake, who was also the former Navy spokesman, in this connection.
