Kadirgamar
killing: police dig into gardener Inspector General Chandra Fernando, who is personally overseeing investigations, said yesterday the links between the gardener and the assassin were being probed as were other clues but he did not give details. The Sunday Times learns that the gardener had free access to the Thalayasingham residence while being employed in the neighbouring house which had been previously rented to the British High Commission and later for another foreign project office. Investigators say evidence indicates the gardener did some odd jobs for Lakshman Thalayasingham and probably had an extra key to the residence. The gardner, who is of Indian origin, has been remanded and detectives say his statements have been contradictory. He is believed to have brought in some domestic aides to the Thalayasingham residence and police are probing their links with the assassin. Mr. Thalayasingham is known to have employed at least 12 domestic aides at different times during the past year and police have questioned some while others are being hunted down. So far more than 100 people have been questioned over the Kadirgamar killing with about 60 of them being released after questioning and 40 remanded. |
