Although according to police ethics, a suicide bomber is not eligible for police honors, it has been decided to accord full police honors to the former IGP’s funeral tomorrow in appreciation of his service as the 35th IGP, said Police Media Spokesperson, Assistant Superintendent of Police F. U. Wutler.
The last rites of the late former IGP C.D. Wickramaratne are scheduled to be performed with full police honors at the Borella Public Cemetery tomorrow (20) afternoon.
C.D. Wickramaratne passed away on the 17th after being shot while staying at his residence in Parakrama Mawatha, Talahena, Malabe. Two police teams have initiated extensive investigations into the death, and the police say that the final report of the post-mortem examination has not yet been received.
