Husband fired unintentionally, says Jaffna killing suspect’s wife
2017-07-28
My husband, Selavarasa Jayanthan (39) from Jaffna, was never a member of
the LTTE. It is a rumour to say that he was a former combatant. My
husband fired unintentionally, the wife of the main suspect said.
Two people were arrested in connections with the shooting incident
targeting Jaffna High Court Judge, M. Elancheliyan at the Nallur South
Road on July 22.
The main suspect surrendered on Tuesday morning and made his statement to the Police.
"After consuming liquor with some people in my house at Nallur on
Saturday, we came to the Temple Road Junction on the Point Pedro Road.
At that moment my cousin pointed at a Police Officer coming on a
motorcycle and challenged me to shoot him, grabbing his pistol if I had
the guts. Hearing this I grabbed the pistol at once from the Police
Officer which went off accidentally," the suspect said.
Following that, brandishing the pistol, I once again stopped a scooter
that was coming in that direction and taking it by force, I went through
the Adiyapatham Road to Kalviyankadu area and from there I went to
Ariyalai.
After abandoning the scooter behind the Peychchi Amman temple, I went to my maternal aunts' house in Thirunagar.
I told my aunt that I had hit a Police Officer in my drunken state and
that the Police were searching for me. I changed my clothes there and
went to the Kombayanmanal cemetery, where I spent the night.
I spent the following day at a relative's house in Navanthurai. That
night, I went to my uncle's place at Koddady. My uncle who had come to
know the incident at Nallur, advised me to surrender to the Police. So I
went with my uncle, surrendered to the Police and made my statement,”
he said.
The Police, after obtaining the statement from the suspect, took the
suspect to his maternal aunt's house at Thirunagar in the Police vehicle
with his face covered with a black cloth.
There the Police recovered the clothes worn by the suspect during the shooting.
The suspect was produced before the Jaffna Magistrate at his official
residence on Tuesday. He was ordered to be remanded till August 8. (By M.Rosanth)http://www.dailymirror.lk/article/Husband-fired-unintentionally-says-Jaffna-killing-suspect-s-wife-133708.html
