The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is to initiate legal action against former Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) OIC Prasanna Alwis for allegedly concealing evidence linked to the investigations conducted into the murder of The Sunday Leader Editor-in-Chief Lasantha Wickrematunge in January 2009.
Police sources have said that legal action was being initiated based on information uncovered that there was no progress in the murder investigation from 2010-2015 when the case was handled by the former TID OIC.
While the CID investigation into the murder had uncovered many leads, the case has been quite dormant after the TID had taken over the probe in 2010.
The CID investigations revealed that after the TID took over investigations no progress had been made until the case was handed back to the CID in 2015.
