A former LTTE cadre, who was a key witness to an attempted murder in the North-East, has been found dead at his home in Mannar.
Father of three, Thanapalasingham Veerasingham, was found dead on the bottom of a swing at his home on Friday morning, shortly after he left to go fishing on Saturday morning. He was found with a saree wrapped around his neck, but was not hanging, reports TamilNet.
The previous day, Mr Thanapalasingham saw a four-man squad carry out an attempted murder and had identified them to the Sri Lankan police in the area.
