The Ranaviru label, no shield to cover crimes

The crimes these men are arrested for are very well organized events conducted by more than one individual involved. When you analyze these crimes, it is important to identify the cause, reason and intention to commit an act of this nature.

( February 26, 2016, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) There is a big hue and cry about the arrest of military personnel for Ekneligoda abduction case and Ravi Raj murder case. One wonders as to why these officers got involved in these crimes.

As a onetime leader of an elite paramilitary organization, I am quite aware that the juniors do not have the ability to get involved in any organized crimes without support from the ranks above, unless it is a real personal matter.

But the crimes these men are arrested for are very well organized events conducted by more than one individual involved. When you analyze these crimes, it is important to identify the cause, reason and intention to commit an act of this nature.

Someone to execute a plan of this magnitude needs careful planning, teamwork and the courage.

How did these officers get that courage to carry out a brutal crime of this nature, during daylight and get back to their barracks or to the safe house with confidence, that they will not be apprehended for what they have committed? Who gave that confidence to these men?

The investigators really have to identify and that will lead to the correct perpetrators behind the crime.

If the military personnel committed these crimes as per their own agenda they should be ashamed of themselves. Retribution will definitely come to them within no time, like what happened to the brutal terrorist leaders.
