Police Chief N.K.Illangakoon has assured Hirunika Premachandra, daughter of slain politician Bharatha Laksman Premachandra that he will look into reports that Parliamentarian Duminda Silva, wanted in connection with the killing, had returned to the country.
Although Airport authorities denied any VIP movement, at least five defender vehicles including Special Task Force (STF) jeeps were seen speeding away from the BIA after the arrival of a flight at about 12.55 a.m. Mr. Silva has been receiving treatment in Singapore since late last year for gunshot injuries in the head sustained during a shootout that killed Mr. Premachandra.
