More information is revealed about lawyer Tamara, who assisted in Sanjeewa's murder.

The organized crime incident involving the murder of Ganemulla Sanjeewa, who had gained notoriety as a powerful leader in the underworld, has now become a widely discussed topic in the field of crime investigation in this country. Today, a large amount of new information from the extensive investigations conducted by the Criminal Investigation Department regarding Attorney Tamara Kumari Abeysinghe, who has been arrested on charges of directly aiding and abetting this murder, was presented to the Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court.

During the hearing presided over by Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama, a significant development was the revelation by investigating officers of several extremely important facts regarding the property found in the possession of the suspect lawyer and her mysterious behavior.

A fact that garnered significant attention during this investigation was the information revealed about the luxury motor vehicle allegedly used by the suspect lawyer. The police informed the court that this vehicle, a Honda Vezel, has a high market value of approximately two and a half crore rupees, or about twenty-five million rupees. Preliminary investigations conducted by officers of the Criminal Investigation Department have confirmed that this vehicle is legally registered under the name of another individual named Wilpred Dissanayake. However, according to statements recorded from Wilpred Dissanayake, the alleged registered owner, and other relevant parties, a hidden aspect of this transaction has been uncovered.

Although the vehicle is nominally owned by another person, investigating officers have confirmed that the entire amount required for its purchase was invested by the suspect lawyer, Ms. Tamara Kumari Abeysinghe, from her personal wealth. The police informed the court that serious doubts have now arisen regarding how she earned such a large sum of money while working as a lawyer, and the discrepancy between her assets and liabilities. The Criminal Investigation Department further stated that a special financial investigation has already been launched into her mysterious assets and the enormous sums of money that have circulated through various bank accounts maintained in her name. The primary objective of this investigation is to ascertain whether these funds were solely earned through her legal profession or if they are 'black money' received through connections with underworld gang members and drug traffickers.

It was revealed in court that the lawyer's contribution to turning the murder of Ganemulla Sanjeewa from a mere fit of rage or an accidental incident into a meticulously planned conspiracy was not insignificant. Specifically, she created the necessary environment for the shooter, who came to commit the murder, to enter the court premises disguised as a lawyer, concealing his true identity. Investigations have confirmed that she provided all the physical elements required for the perpetrator to assume the guise of a lawyer to reach the relevant location, effectively 'throwing sand in the eyes' of the security forces. The police also presented to the court a list of items she provided to the shooter to ensure the success of this plan.

Accordingly, she provided the assassin with two black ties, which are an essential part of a lawyer's official attire, and a sticker with the official emblem of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka, used exclusively for lawyers' private vehicles. Information has also been revealed that she supplied him with a pair of law books, namely the Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure, to give the impression that these were essential tools for a lawyer. It was further uncovered that these books were provided not merely to alter his appearance, but to facilitate the concealment of a firearm between the books for entry into the court premises. The most serious revelation is the confirmation that the suspect lawyer even provided the initial arrangements and photographs required to create a fake lawyer's identity card to the shooter and his accomplice.

This criminal network came to light during extensive interrogations of 'Kehelbaddara Padme,' who was previously arrested in connection with the murder of Ganemulla Sanjeewa. Following his confession, the lawyer's role was further confirmed during the questioning of a woman named Ishara Sewwandi, who was arrested in Nepal and brought back to the country. Ishara Sewwandi is the person who brought the firearm concealed between books into the court complex for the said murder. Investigating officers have now scientifically confirmed that lawyer Tamara Abeysinghe provided her own official identity card to create a fake ID for Ishara Sewwandi to enter the court premises disguised as a lawyer, and that the fake ID thus created also bears the signature of the suspect lawyer herself.

Looking at the lawyer's past conduct, it appears that she was not merely a legal professional but someone who maintained long-term relationships with powerful figures in the underworld, providing cover for their illegal activities. Information indicates that drug traffickers and organized criminals such as Nadun Chinthaka alias 'Harak Kata,' Panadura Kudu Salindu, and Shiran Basik have been her clients or close associates. She also intervened to handle legal matters on behalf of Harak Kata when he was arrested in Madagascar, and it was she who came forward to take legal action against the police when an unauthorized hotel belonging to Shiran Basik in Mount Lavinia was demolished.

Furthermore, she maintained a very close association with a powerful underworld figure named Daroon, who is hiding in Dubai, and it was from Daroon that she received instructions to provide the necessary facilities for the murder of Ganemulla Sanjeewa. It is suspected that she received a large sum of money for these activities, and court orders have been obtained to examine her bank accounts to ascertain whether money received from criminals like Kehelbaddara Padme has been deposited in her accounts. Investigations into her foreign travels have revealed that she traveled from Katunayake Airport to Dubai via Singapore last June, and this trip is also suspected to be linked to these underworld connections.

Tamara Abeysinghe, aged fifty-five, is a mother with children, hailing from the Dambulla area. Educated at the University of Colombo and the Law College, she has served as a lawyer in the courts of Kadawatha, Gampaha, and Mahara. However, it is speculated that she frequently changed her residence by renting houses in the recent past, either to evade the law or to avoid underworld threats. She was arrested at her home in Kadawatha, and detention orders have been obtained under the provisions of the Prevention of Terrorism Act for her questioning. Special police teams are actively working to uncover more information about this complex criminal network.

Another controversial fact that has emerged during these investigations is the information received that the names of nearly 50 police officers are indirectly or directly connected to this incident. The Criminal Investigation Department is conducting inquiries to determine whether the lawyer of 'Kehelbaddara Padme' and others received support from within the police force on certain occasions. Investigative units point out that it is a serious situation for a lawyer, engaged in a respected profession in society, to use it as a shield to provide refuge to the country's most dangerous criminals and actively contribute to the execution of criminal plans. Specifically, severe charges have been leveled against her for misusing her legal knowledge and professional privileges for the protection of criminals. It is expected that based on the information revealed from her, who is currently in detention, many more mysteries of the underworld will be uncovered in the future.
