Facts revealed about the murder of Ekneligoda

 Aug 27, 2015

The CID has able to reveal much information about the premeditated abduction and the murder of journalist Prageeth Ekneligoda who mysteriously went missing.

If Prageeth Ekneligoda was systematically abducted the CID has to further interrogate the suspects to know who was behind the abduction?
Why it was done? When it was done and where?

The CID has taken two lieutenant colonels, one staff sergeant, one corporal, a retired sergeant and two rehabilitated members of the LTTE into custody and started its questioning.

Prageeth Ekneligoda disappeared on January 14th 2010. Although the police have conducted several investigations for five years from the date nobody was arrested and the police investigation could not get any factual information about the abduction.

The police again started its investigation about this mysterious disappearance two months ago by the instruction of the IGP N.K.Ilangakoon. From then onwards the CID has able to reveal much information’s with regard to the disappearance. Most important information’s were revealed with regard to Ekneligods’s mobile number which was largely connected with other telephone numbers.

For the last five years many people slyly announced that Prageeth was living in a foreign country.

One politician said that he met Prageeth in a foreign country and the former chief justice Mohan Pieris during a UN conference on prevention of torture said that he got information that Prageeth was living as an asylum seeker in a foreign country. Prageeth Ekneligoda’s wife Sandya Ekneligoda urged the human rights committee to conduct an investigation regarding Mohan Pieris’s statement.

The CID has raised its concern over the statement made that he is living in a foreign country was a part of a plan if Prageeth was abducted and killed.

However the CID would produce these revealed information’s to the courts about the mysterious disappearance of Prageeth Ekneligoda. According to police reports the conspiracy of abduction of Prageeth would be exposed and the main suspects of the conspiracy would be arrested following a court order.
