Death Row Convict Missing Abroad as Lavish Spending and Underhand Deals Raise Alarms
The mystery deepens around Jude Shamantha Jayamaha, the Royal Park murder convict whose presidential pardon was recently overturned by the Supreme Court. After allegedly flying to Singapore, Jayamaha has now gone missing — and the story is getting murkier by the day.
In a dramatic turn, the Attorney General’s office informed the Supreme Court that a red warrant has been issued to secure his arrest and extradition. But while law enforcement hunts for the fugitive, whispers of shady backdoor dealings and a trail of suspicious wealth are casting a long shadow.
Sources close to the investigation hint that Jayamaha's influential family is sparing no expense. With rumors of cash being funneled through unofficial channels, many are questioning whether the delay in extradition is due to legal hurdles — or strategic obstructions.
This development comes after the Supreme Court ruled in June that former President Maithripala Sirisena’s pardon of Jayamaha was “arbitrary and unlawful.” The ruling not only invalidated the pardon but also compelled authorities to take immediate action to bring the convicted murderer back to face justice.
As legal teams battle in court and the public watches closely, one thing is clear: this is no longer just a criminal case — it's turning into a political and social scandal with layers still unfolding.
