Prabhakaran was killed by Bri. Ravipriya - Fonseka

Sep 26, 2016

Ex-Army chief, minister Sarath Fonseka says the task force led by Brig. Ravipriya and functioned directly under him had attacked and eliminated LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran.

He is responding to claims in a book written by retired Maj. Gen. Kamal Gunaratne.

Fonseka says he had disregarded a disciplinary inquiry against Gunaratne and gave him charge of a brigade.
He says he would have decommissioned Gunaratne before seeing Prabhakarans’ elimination, had he known at the time about what he mentions in the book.

Fonseka requests the incumbent Army commander to take disciplinary action against Gunaratne.
