The death of ruggerite Wasim Thajudeen, whose burnt body was found in a vehicle near the Shalika Grounds in Narahenpita, was confirmed as being a murder in the final report submitted to Court by a board of medical officers.
Complaints had been lodged with the CID that the ruggerites death on May 17th, 2012, was not an accident.
According to the report, the victim had not been driving at the time of the accident, and his body had been transferred to the driver’s seat after being assaulted.
The Moratuwa University is currently inspecting CCTV records related to the murder of former Sri Lanka rugby player Wasim Thajudeen, reports said.
The police are in serious difficulties due to the fact that proper police investigations have not be carried out in 2012, when the murder occurred, reports also said.
The University of Moratuwa has been tasked with retrieving deleted footage related to the murder of ruggerite Mohammad Wasim Thajudeen, say sources from the police headquarters.
Experts are attempting to recover the CCTV records which have been erased. CCTV records from cameras in Colombo are not kept for longer periods of time.
Police say that they are facing severe inconveniences as proper investigations were not held back then.
CCTV footage obtained from cameras installed in the Colombo suburbs are not kept for a period of three years but are deleted after a short span of time. Police are now attempting to retrieve the deleted footage.
