CID confirms murder suspicion in Thajudeen death

The police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) yesterday informed court that it suspected murder over the death of former ruby player Mohommed Wasim Thajudeen.

Thajudeen died on 17 May 2012 in Kirulapone when his car crashed into a wall. According to police reports at the time, the rugby player was driving home after attending a party when he lost control of the car and crashed into a wall along Park Road. The car had exploded instantly and burnt the victim.

However, suspicions later arose after it was reported that there could have been a political connection in the death of Thajudeen. (Colombo Gazette)
