Wrong suspect indicted in Maj Gen Parami Kulatunga assassination case

(June 30, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Colombo Crime Division today produced the wrong suspect in the Colombo High Court where the case against the suspects involved in the assassination of Major Gen Parami Kulatunga is taking place.

The mistake was ditected when CID ASP A. Collure was called to give evidence in the case. He said that the suspect in the dock was not the suspect .

The suspect produced was Raj Gopal, but the actual suspect was Vasu Gopal who is currently in the Colombo Remand Prison for allegations that he was spying on the movements of Gen Kulantunga before his assassination took place in 2006.

The suspect Vasu Gopal has already made a confession about following the movements of Maj Gen Kulatunga and passing on the information to an LTTE leader known as Kannan.

Court issued notice on the CCD OIC to be present in court on July 28 and also produce the actual suspect.
