What was recorded in Lasantha's missing diary?

The Sunday Leader Editor Mr. Lasantha Wickramatunga was assassinated on the highway during the last regime and though his diary which contained secret information was discovered by the police; it had by now disappeared. It has been understood that police officers who conducted investigations on the incident at that time are responsible for the disappearance of this diary. The

Criminal Investigation Department has commenced a large-scale investigation in that connection.

A host of information was revealed in the said diary about individuals who were planning to murder him and information including suspected persons who were following him on motor cycles and other vehicles in that diary, according to investigations conducted at that time. However as the murder investigations were going at a slow pace for some reason at that time, the information did not come out. Prior to the Lasantha Wickramatunga assassination, there had been several points of information in the diary pertaining to individuals who made dead threats to him over telephone calls and telephone numbers from which they instigated the calls and related information too.

The diary concerned which had been inside his motor vehicle at the moment of the murder had been taken possession of by a high-ranker of the police and subsequently had been acquired by several senior police officers and finally it had been handed over to a higher-up in charge of the security of the country. All this was exposed across enquiries carried out so far. After this person had taken possession of the diary to himself no information has been revealed about it so far. The police admit that if this diary could be recovered, a wealth of information relevant to the Lasantha assassination could be extracted.
