Alles and Ekneliyagoda murder suspects too out !
(Lanka-e-News - 09.Nov.2016, 9.15PM) The practice of granting bail without citing reasons to the Rajapakse brigand rogues who outrageously robbed public property and the culprits who committed murder for and on behalf of Rajapakses using the label of ‘war heroes’ , is being continued recklessly by courts in the wake of the recent odious ‘ cyanide’ speech of the president . Today too , Tiran Alles the notorious RADA rogue and two other suspects incriminated in the Ekneliyagoda murder were enlarged on bail.
The primary defense advanced by the black coated sharks on behalf of these criminals was : even the president has charged that the FCID and the CID which filed action in court against these criminals are discharging their tasks based on political agendas.
Nalin Laduwahetti the lawyer for Alles cited president’s statement as a defense when requesting bail for his client. On the earlier occasion , the high court rejected this argument and remanded the culprit , but today the appeal court vacated that order and directed the high court to grant bail. Perhaps this is the first time bail was granted to a suspect this way who is facing clear and cogent charges under the Public Property Act of robbing a whopping Rs. 2000 million without building a single house for the Tsunami victims out of a sum of Rs. 6500 million of the public funds granted to him for that specific purpose.
Meanwhile the two suspects (fourth and fifth accused) who flaunted the label of ‘war heroes’ , namely , Wadugedera Winnie Priyantha Nilanjan Upasena alias Suresh and Seneviratne Mudiyansalage Ravindra Upasena alias Ranji , and were the remaining two of the suspects in remand custody in connection with Ekneliyagoda murder , were ordered to be released on bail by the Avissawella High court judge , Amal Thilakarathne today (08) . They were released on a cash bail of Rs. 1 million and two surety bails in a sum of Rs. 3 million each. This means that all the suspects in Ekneliyagoda case are now out on bail.
While releasing these culprits on bail , in respect of the cases against Wimal Weerawansa and Gotabaya Rajapakse long dates were given by court – postponed the case 7 to 8 months at once, meaning that these two criminals were afforded the opportunity to enjoy to the hilt , their criminalities notwithstanding .
The incumbent president Maithripala Sirisena who made most solemn and public promises as common candidate during the run up to the last presidential elections that the murderers of Ekneliyagoda will be apprehended and punished , did a dramatic turnabout recently . In his recent odious cyanide speech , and the subsequent interview with a newspaper , lamented that the suspects in Ekneliyagoda murder are in remand custody for a period of 16 long months , in addition to making a number of obnoxious statements directly bringing pressure to bear on the courts

The finances of Kithsiri Pathirana, Project Director, Tsunami Rehabilitation Project too should be probed. This is to ascertain if he too is guilty of misappropriation of tsunami funds during the previous regime.

This is a clear indication and example of the President supporting the crooks and criminals of the past regime. It time the people and those who voted for the government change to understand that they are being hood winked by President Sirisena. This is the most dishonest man to hold such office, at least Rajapakshe did not make such promises.
