CID awaits complaint to launch probe

CID awaits complaint to launch probe Featured

The CID has decided to launch an immediate investigation if families lodge a complaint with regard to media reports on unsolved murders of Maj. Gen. Lucky Algama and SSP Upul Seneviratne, say police headquarters sources.

The reports say the CID has been able to uncover details of several murders committed by the military intelligence for political and personal enmities, but blamed on the LTTE.

They include the killings of politician-soldier Maj. Lucky Algama and STF chief SSP Upul Seneviratne.

It was the military intelligence that had planned the suicide bomb attack that claimed the life of Algama at a UNP rally in Ja-ela on 18 December 1999.

The CID has also revealed that personal enmity had led to the fatal claymore mine attack on SSP Seneviratne and his driver at Digana town in Kandy on 07 August 2006.

Details of these killings came to light in the course of CID investigations into the enforced disappearance of journalist Prageeth Ekneligoda.

Reports say a former military intelligence chief suspected to be behind the murder of Maj. Gen. Algama has gone to live in Australia.
