by Sarath Malalasekera

Colombo Fort Magistrate and Additional District Judge Sarath C. Karunaratne yesterday directed the Prison authorities to produce Sathyaseelan Selvakumar, 29 of Jaffna, the woman accomplice of the LTTE woman suicide bomber who committed suicide at the Kollupitiya Police station premises, before the Special Court in the Prison premises and submit a report to Court on November 3. Earlier, she made a confession before the Judge.

The Judge also allowed an earlier CID application to question several persons who were alleged to have used cellular phones on the day of the incident.

Investigations revealed that the LTTE had selected the suspect now in custody to accompany the woman suicide bomber as she had access to Minister Douglas Devananda's office.

The CID earlier took over investigations into the bomb attack, where four police personnel and the LTTE woman suicide bomber were killed.

The four police personnel killed were Inspector M.H.D. Ekanayake, Sergeant Artygala and two Reserve Police Constables Liyanage and Chandra Jayantha.

Investigations also revealed that the LTTE woman suicide bomber had been assigned to assassinate Devananda.
