Is this Captain Tissa?

THURSDAY, 18 FEBRUARY 2016

There is widespread discussion in social networks regarding the sketches released by the police of the two persons believed to have been involved in the murder of accomplished journalist Lasantha Wickremetunga.

One side of the story is that attempting to find murderers by releasing sketches is a futile attempt as the person having similar features could change his looks. One of the most controversial views published by social networks is the person in one of the sketches with a moustache is similar to  ‘Captain Tisssa’ who had been former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s driver and later became the driver for Mrs. Shiranthi Rajapaksa.

His name was mentioned in social networks as the main suspect of the murder  of popular rugby player  Wasim Thajudeen. It is said that he is being detained in a Navy camp in Trincomalee area.
