No proper evidence: Three arrested over Colombo bomb released after 15 years.
Three members of the LTTE militant group who were remanded over a bomb incident in 2006 have been released from the case after 15 years of imprisonment, it was reported.
The three LTTE cadres were imprisoned over the bomb blast targetting the convoy of the then Pakistan High Commissioner for Sri Lanka in Colpetty in August 2006.
Taking up for hearing the case, Colombo High Court Judge Mahen Weeraman today issued a verdict releasing them from all charges of the case.
Announcing the verdict, the judge said that the charges against the accused had not been proved beyond reasonable doubt.
A case was filed against the three accused, Yogaraja Nirojan alias Star, Subramaniam Surendra Raja alias Karan, and Kanagaratnam Adhithyan alias Giri, by the Attorney General under 25 charges.
