Yoshitha’s tearful confession while in remand custody

May 13, 2016

A few months ago, when Yoshitha Rajapaksa was being kept at remand prison at Welikada, he began crying loudly in the dead of one night. His fellow remand prisoners Nishantha Ranatunga, Rohan Weliwita and others surrounded him and tried to calm him down by saying, “Don’t cry, Yoshitha Malli. All of us will get together and get out of this. Whoever says anything, we know that we haven’t done anything wrong. Let us get out of this somehow.”

This made Yoshitha cry louder. “Why? Malli, do you have any other problem?” Weliwita asked him. Amidst tears, Yoshitha replied appealingly, “Aney, yes, Ayye. I have done many things on my own about which you don’t know. If all of those are revealed, I will have to spend the rest of my life in prison. Do not get out of this alone. Get me out too, somehow.”

 

Shocked by what Yoshitha said, all looked at each other for several minutes. Then, they let Yoshitha go to sleep and had discussed among themselves that they should get out by confessing all they know. Accordingly, everything they know will be revealed through the media. One such revelation that is being made by the media currently is about a mysterious radio channel that had got involved in money laundering.  More revelations will follow soon.
