The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) today renewes its 'promise' before the Colombo Fort Magistrate to arrest Chief of Defence Sraff Admiral Ravindra Wijegunaratne over the abductions and killing of 11 youths. 

The CID said it had found sufficient evidence to arrest Wijegunaratne for sheltering the main suspect of the crime and supporting him to flee the Policr arrest.

IP Nishantha Silva appearing on behalf of the CID said the documentation was being preparing to arrest the country's senior-most serving military officer over his alleged involvement in a grave criminal offense. 

Wojegunaratne , he said, would be summoned before the CID next week. 

When the CID planned to arrest Wijegunaratne previously, President Maithripala Sirisena summoned senior Police authorities and prevented the move.
