The motives behind the murder of the Delft Pradeshiya Sabha
Chairman, Daniel Rexian have now been linked to an illegitimate relationship
between Rexian’s wife and the
lead suspect, Kandasamy Kamalendran, the CID revealed.
The
Chairman of the Delft Pradeshiya Sabha, Daniel Rexian was shot and killed by an
unknown group while his body was found on November 27 in his home in
Punkudutivu.
The PS
Chairman was a member of the EDPD party.
Police
stated that his wife, Rexian Anida had informed police that there was no
suspicion behind the death of her husband and that he had probably consumed
poison.
However,
the post mortem revealed that the PS Chairman had sustained a head injury
caused by a firearm and was thus pronounced a murder.
Investigations revealed that the murder was conducted with
the wife’s consent while she along with the Opposition Leader of the Northern
Provincial Council K. Kamalendran (EPDP) and his assistant London Sasindran
were arrested for the murder.
The 9mm
pistol used in the murder along with 11 bullets and the motorbike used by
Kamalendran and Sasindran as the getaway vehicle were seized by the police.
The CID
revealed that the wife of the victim and Kamalendran were engaged in an
extra-marital relationship.
