Wimal's wife gives evidence in courts about youth who died in the house

Lahiru Janith, a 24 year old youth died mysteriously last October as a result of taking an overdose of the steroid Viagra, as a consequence of suffering from a heart ailment. Evidence in this connection was called for last 11th (day after Wimal Weeravansha was taken into custody) at Kaduwela Magistrate Courts on which occasion MP Wimal Weeravansha's wife Mrs. Sashi Weeravansha came forward before Magistrate and Additional Judge Mr. Prasanna Alwis and

submitted her evidence in this manner:

"Deceased Lahiru is my son's best friend. From sometime back the two of them have been having a close relationship. Frequently he used to lodge in our house in the nights in the company of my son. In the same way he came on the night of this incident too. He then had his meals after going home and returned once again and asked, 'aunty ... shall I go?' His eyes were swollen. I then asked 'son .. why is this?' He then replied saying 'maybe because of breaking rest'. After that all of them worshipped at my feet and took leave of me and proceeded upstairs. They were watching a movie. Later they went to sleep and it was only in the morning that I came to know.

Around 9 in the morning my son came running and told me 'amma ... Lahiru aiyya is not getting up'. I then answered him saying 'how can that be?' Son then said 'amma come and see ... I am not joking'. I then called Lahiru's mother Rupika over the phone and told her 'your son is not getting up ... come quickly'. Later when Rupika came and started running upstairs and then started crying saying 'ane ... this boy's father also died this way .. something has happened to my son'.  Lahiru was lying face downwards on the mattress. When we turned his up his body we noticed that his face had taken on a different hue. The driver was not at home. I put the boy into the vehicle and took him to Jayawardene Hospital and there the doctors said that Lahiru has passed away.

This young man who mysteriously died in this manner on 26 October 2016 had been residing at No. 71 close to No. 74 down Mangala Mawatha, Hokandara South, Hokandara; the house belonging to Mr. Wimal Weeravansha, MP and leader of Jathika Nidahas Peramuna. Medical reports relevant to the death were not produced in courts that day and the police informed courts that the Government Analyst's Report on the death had not been received after a lapse of 3 months. The Magistrate put off the case for hearing until 22nd of next month.

Police fire teargas at Dambulla protestors

Police today fired teargas to disperse a group of protestors outside the Dambulla International Cricket Stadium who were blocking the main road, the Ada Derana Correspondent confirmed. The group of Sri Lankan cricket supporters had engaged in a protest outside the stadium, with some causing damage to hoardings and hooting, demanding that they be allowed to watch the ongoing 4th ODI between Sri Lanka and Australia.  The incident comes just days after Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) issued an apology for inadequate crowd control measures during their third One-Day International against Australia in Dambulla. Australia won a close contest by two wickets at the Rangiri Stadium on Sunday to pull ahead 2-1 in the five-match series.  Over-enthusiastic cricket fans climbed trees, walls and scaffolding to get a glimpse of the match and, according to SLC’s estimates, around 45,000 people thronged the venue which has a capacity of only 18,000. Part of the overzealousness is believed to be the fact that it was the first day-night One-Day International at the venue in six years   “Sri Lanka Cricket sincerely wishes to announce that it regrets the inconvenience caused to the ticket holders and cricket fans who could not get to their allocated seats at yesterday’s 3rd ODI match played in Dambulla,” SLC said in a statement. “Having the capacity of accommodating 18,000 spectators, over 45,000 cricket fans attended the match as per the SLC security estimates. Therefore, the security staff and the ushering teams lost the crowd control systems which was in place to assist the spectators as usual.” “Due to the above situation, contingency measures were taken to protect the playing area and the two teams, which was considered as a priority for the continuation of the game,” it added. “SLC wishes to state that it will take adequate measures to ensure that proper security and ushering will be in place for the upcoming matches and apologise once again for the inconvenience caused to our fans.”

How Harshana and Janith who hacked President Website were cornered!

How Harshana and Janith who hacked President Website were cornered!

Two young people have been taken into custody by now over the incident of having gained illegal access to President Maithripala Sirisena's official website. After they were questioned in this connection a host of information
relevant to the incident has been exposed.
The arrested 17 year old youth in fact is a schoolboy studying in the Maths stream at Ranabima Royal College, Kandy and was following his Advanced Level. Even prior to this he had gained illegal access to 7 other websites, he had admitted. The second suspect who has been apprehended is a graphic artiste having been identified as the individual who has provided technical advice in this respect. He is 27 year old Karunanayakage Janith Madhusanka, a resident of Katubedda, Moratuwa.
The schoolboy who is involved has been taken into custody for having issued a threatening announcement asking that the GCE Advanced Level Examination be not held in the month of April, to give ear to demands of university students, that the government would have to face a cyber war if not able to take precautions in that respect and in such a case for the President to tender his resignation. The schoolboy has on a number of occasions resorted to hacking the President's Website which actions warrant punishment under clause 3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 of the Computer Crime Laws of No. 14, 2007. Under such conditions he was later produced before courts and detained at Makola Detention House while the 27 year old young man was remanded under orders of Colombo Chief Magistrate Mr. Gihan Pilapitiya.
Apart from this, the Criminal Investigation Department has forwarded a 'B' Report implying that information has been revealed that these two suspects have committed this offence with collaboration of foreign suspects too. A number of IP numbers have been utilised from overseas for this hacker attack; but since one number had been used in this country by mistake, it was possible to arrest the two of them on surveys conducted across that data. The police say that they were able to identify the Facebook Group Account known as Arrow lk which has been maintained by the two suspects which in fact provides the opportunity of changing the data after intruding over 37 websites in Sri Lanka. Further, in addition to that account they had been involved in exchanging relevant information to launch hacking operations on the website forum known as Yakadaya Forum. They had also been engaged in discussions about gaining unauthorized access to websites across the internet while in the process maintaining other Facebook data pages as well as some websites such as Rathu Ukussa, Sumedha Janavijaya and Koyahacker.
The schoolboy who is one of the suspects in this incident has gained access to 7 websites in this manner and involved in acts of distortion of information. While involved in Advanced Level studies in school, he had even tried his hand at a business by the name of Harshana Graphics across the internet and thus was making money by attending to various scripts and graphic work. These two young men had got to know each other through a global forum, subsequent to which they had discussed over the telephone and finally embarked on the operation of hacking the President's Website as to how it could be done in a strategical way after which they had carried out their plans. They were nabbed by the police even before 48 hours elapsed simply because they had made a blunder in one IP address.
