(Lanka-e-News -23.May.2016, 10.45PM) Former DIG Anura Senanayake was arrested by the CID in connection with the murder of Rugby player Wasim Thajudeen based on charges of suppression of evidence , exerting undue pressure on the police officers and conspiring to commit murder. After being produced before the Colombo additional magistrate Nishantha Peiris , he was remanded until the 26 th.
Lanka e news always first with the news , best with the views , reputed for fearless and forthright reporting, earlier on reported that ‘a video tape with Anura Senanayake in shorts has been discovered.’ Today , in the B report produced to the court by the CID , the Lanka e news revelation was mentioned. In the report of the CID to court today , it was stated there is evidence that on the day Thajudeen was murdered Anura Senanayake was on the main road between 2.45 and 3.20 in the early hours of the morning near the Shalika playground , Narahenpita.
SP Shani Abeysekera of the CID making his submissions in court before the magistrate today said , there is enough evidence testifying to Anura Senanayake suppressing evidence and conspiring to commit the murder.
It is a well and widely known fact that during the lawless and brutal Rajapakse era, Anura Senanayake rode the high horse even overriding the IGP, and exploiting his evil police powers he became a millionaire businessman. He illegally appropriated valuable properties ; engaged in extortion and used the police officers separately to collect extortion monies for him; carried out the illegal orders of the Rajapakses including abduction of people and killing them ;and gave the necessary protection to the white van murderers.
Following the Rainbow revolution of 8th January , in order to save himself and to ingratiate himself into the favor of the law enforcing authorities , he donated a sum of Rs. 10 million to the Police welfare fund saying this was his earning from the sale of his CD cassette.
In any event , today when retribution overtook him , and was being taken to the prison handcuffed , his contribution to the welfare fund based on his criminal earnings could not overpower divine retribution. There weren’t his ‘ maage kirilli’ (his birds) either ,to accompany , kiss or caress him when he was turned into a jail bird.
It is worthy of special mention that this investigation is being conducted by a top flight police officer, a most reputed detective Shani Abeysekera who is considered as on par with the FBI of the US based on his efficiency , integrity and probity.

Good catch of a piraya or parah maaluwa.Anura Sir, if you need to spend time in a hospital rather than in a 2x2 remand cell, here are some helpful tips: try your very best get a medical certificate. Any one of the following diagnosis will suffice - megalomania, mange, impotency, rabies, malaria but best of all may be senile dementia for in such a case you can very easily get away with answers like "can't rememer" to all the prosecuting lawyers' questions and the judges' questions too.
