The case about disappearance of 11 Colombo youths during the previous regime has been taken for inquiry today. The CID has mistakenly reported to courts that it has investigated the ‘murders’ of journalists Upali Tennakoon and Keith Noyahr. The report in question has been submitted by inspector A. Nishantha de Silva, and certified by the OIC of the unit. They were only been attacked some years ago.
Tennakoon fled the country after the attack and returned only for this case after the change of Government .Tennakoon is due to go back to the US today (08) after attending the court hearing in connection with the attack on him at Imbulgoda in Gampaha on 23 September 2009.
While Upali Tennakoon and Keith Noyahr are living, a CID unit has misled the courts by saying its investigations into 11 missing persons had been delayed due to the two above investigations.
