Another Cold blood killing : Lasantha Wicrama by Kotabaya
We feel really sorry for Lasantha Wicramathunga ,the brave editor and founder of Sunday Leader in Sri Lanka and his newly married wife. It is a tragedy and painful news but it is not surprised at all. As Sri Lanka is being the hell on earth for any brave journalist. The arm squared lead by Mahinda and Co did this task next to MTV issue. No point in writing a lot about this as already all the media reported a lot.
Sunday Leader editor Lasantha Wickramathunga was shot and Killed
Sunday Leader editor Lasantha Wickramathunga was shot on morning 08/01/2009 at Bakery Junction. Aththidiya. Police Media spokesman SSP Ranjith Gunasekara said the media that assassination was conducted by two gunmen riding a motorcycle.
Wickramathunga was rushed in to Kalubowila hospital for immediate treatment. Later the same day evening 4 pm he died due to severer head injury .
Managala Says :
Lasantha had the files regarding the deals of Gotabhaya Rajapakse in his possession and he was to submit them to the courts. Lasantha was to expose a massive transaction of the Ministry of Defense and a decision taken at Wednesday (07) cabinet in his newspaper. Therefore, the decision to assassinate him was hurriedly implemented,” says Sri Lanka Freedom Party People’s Wing leader Mangala Samaraweera.
He made these observations at a special press briefing held last evening (0 8/01/2009 ) in the official residence of the Opposition Leader.
Samaraweera said that a killer squad led by the Rajapakse regime conducted the killings of MP Pararajasingham on December 25, 2006 inside a cathedral, assassinations of MPs Maheswaran and Raviraj, brutally assaulted Keith Noyer who criticized the Army Commander and prompted him to leave the country and attacked freelance journalist Namal Perera and Mahendra Rathnaweera, an employee of British High Commission.
MP Mangala Samaraweera directly accused that the executioners of Rajapakse regime had conducted the killing of journalist Lasantha Wickramathunga.
May be he will be next in the hit list. !
