Serious threat to my life if suspects are bailed - Sandya Featured

Sandhya Eknaligoda - the wife of missing journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda, says that she would face a serious threat to her life if the suspects arrested in connection with her husband’s disappearance are released on bail by courts.

Speaking at a press conference in Colombo yesterday (24), she said that the lives of the officials of the Attorney General’s Department who appeared for the case as well as CID officers would also be in danger if these suspects are released on bail.

I has been 2,265 days since Prageeth went missing and is suspected to have been abducted and “murdered without evidence, she said.

Noting that the detained military officers are well aware that they could be released if there is no evidence to prove the killing, Sandhya said that she requested the President, Prime Minister, the UN and relevant authorities to intervene into the matter claiming that her life was in danger.

She urged the President not to allow the investigation to be hampered.
