Body of abducted manager found in Thotalanga

The body of a manager of a private company, who was abducted by an unidentified group, was found dumped in Thotalanga last morning, police said.

They said the victim identified as Reginald Jesudasan, 31, had been severely assaulted and his body had been wrapped up to his knees with polyethylene. Mr. Jesudasan’s father, a retired police inspector, told The Sunday Times, that his son did not return to his house at Mabole, Wattala, after he left his office at Kollupitiya around 7.30 p.m. on Friday and he was informed about the discovery of the body yesterday morning.

Police said, they were investigating the crime and they had no clue as to who had killed Mr. Jesudasan.

Meanwhile, police inquiring into the abduction of Logenthirajah Komathy, a former finance director of Aero Lanka Private Ltd, said, they were yet to make any breakthrough in their investigations.

A gang which came in a white van stormed into her residence in Ratmalana and assaulted her before they abducted her. They also took away some files and a laptop computer from her residence. Two of Ms. Komathy’s relatives, a woman who had been employed in Ameri Lanka Private Ltd, a sister company of the Aero Lanka Private Ltd, and her husband, were also abducted on the same day.

Meanwhile, an LTTE informant was shot dead last night around 7.30 at Chithra Lane in Colombo, Narahenpita police said.

The victim, identified as Maniam, was going to a shop to buy a bottle of soft drink when he was shot dead by a lone gunman, police said.
