Jan 28, 2017

The Army intelligence chief at the time Maj. Gen. Kapila Hendawitharana had ordered and supervised the grenade attack on the Pepeliyana road home of senior lawyer J.C. Weliamuna on 27 September 2008, it is coming to light now.

The grenade did not explode, and Weliamuna, his wife and two children were unharmed.

The related court case is pending at Gangodawila magistrate’s court, categorized as ‘C’, which means there are no suspects to the incident.

However, the CID investigation revealed that Hendawitharana was behind the attack. In order to establish that, the then Army chief, Sarath Fonseka and defence secretary at the time Gotabhaya Rajapaksa are to be summoned to the CID shortly. Kohuwala police will act on their statements.
