Sumathipala had no reason to kill any of these individuals named above using Amarasinghe. An anonymous party lodged an official complaint to our police special branch called the Criminal Investigation Department (equivalent to the FBI) that Amarasinghe was contracted to murder two individuals by Sumathipala. Chairman of the United National Party, Malik Samarawickrama and executive director of the Airport Services, Gamini Abeyratne who was working for Ranil Wickremesinghe.
Both of these individuals are friendly with Sumathipala and Malik immediately met Sumathipala to discuss this. Amarasinghe threatened Sumathipala, so Sumathipala asked Samarawickrama to pardon Amarasinghe. Malik told Sumathipala that it was ███████████ who was behind this and refused to pardon Amarasinghe as Samarawickrama wanted to kill him. Abeyratne works at PM Mahinda Rajapaksa's office as a personal staffer. Sumathipala had no reason to kill Lasantha Wickrematunge and had nothing to do with the attack on the editor's house in 1996 which Amarasinghe attacked under orders from ███████████████████████████████████████████████. Sumathipala and SB Dissanayake told ███████████ not to do this. When Amarasinghe was arrested, Sumathipala introduced himself and spoke with Amarasinghe to uncover ███████████ who was behind this. This is why Amarasinghe began to rescind false testimony by others against Sumathipala and was ultimately ready to implicate ███████████ which is why he was gunned down quickly.
Sumathipala foolishly believed in accordance with Buddhist teachings that Angulimala who was tricked into murdering by his wicked teacher, was 'transfigured' by Buddha to attain nirvana, he can save Amarasinghe. ███████████ exploited wickedly after giving him protection and supplying him with alcohol, women and money as someone whose family were mostly killed by gang violence. The person who killed Amarasinghe belonged to a rival gang connected with ███████████. Sumathipala (perhaps) only asked Amarasinghe to burn down (arson) Lakshman Balasuriya's Lake House betting shop in Kandy which was █████████████████████████████designed to control the gambling monopoly with "fear". In reality, Balasuriya (Lakshman) collusively meets with Sumathipala every month to set the betting odds cooperatively (in my opinion; based on what Jagath indicated in confidence). Kumaratunga's cousin's husband ''accidentally'' killed my father Palith Edirisinghe in 2005.
* Correction : Lake Club* Betting shop *
Lasantha angered many powerful SL leaders who threatened to kill him, but Sumathipala had nothing to do with the attack on his house which was most likely done by ███████████. Lasantha only printed that Sumathipala was involved in gambling and forged a passport because he signed a letter of recommendation to the British High Commissioner along with a cheque that was already signed and put before him by other members of the Sri Lanka Cricket executive committee for Amarasinghe to travel to watch a cricket match. Amarasinghe was a dangerous figure who Sumathipala was afraid of, and may have been forced to support out of fear for his life. When you are running a gambling monopoly for 73+ years, you may be forced to cooperate with violent underworld figures to survive consistent attacks from rival politicians or businesspeople.
