The Attorney General’s (AG) Department today informed Colombo Additional Magistrate Nishantha Peiris that a key witness in the case regarding popular Ruggerite Wasim Thajudeen’s death was unduly influenced by a certain party.
The Attorney General’s Department did not reveal any details on the responsible party or the witness concerned. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) informed court that an investigation was being conducted on the alleged incident.
This was revealed when the Magisterial Inquiry to the death of former national ruggerite and Havelock’s SC Captain Wasim Thajudeen was taken up this morning.
Thajudeen was killed in May 2012 in what was then described as an accident. However, the CID recently told the courts that it was no accident. Meanwhile, CID recently informed that Thajudeen’s mobile phone was recovered from Agarapathana in Nuwara Eliya.
