 Name:
Chandrakanthan Vijayatharson (Male)
Age: 29 Marital status: Single
Address: Kachchai Road, Chavakachcheri
Occupation: Shop owner
On 23rd January 2006, Vijayatharson went to the
Chavakachcheri market as usual to purchase items for his
shop which is situated at Meesalai junction.
Chavakachcheri market is only 200 metres from the
Thanankilappu high security zone border. There are
several SLA sentry points around the Chavakachcheri
market which is normally manned by several SLA
personnel. At the time of the incident the usual SLA
presence in the market was absent. One gunman walked
casually from behind Vijayatharson and shot him from
behind and very casually joined his friend waiting on a
motorcycle and drove away. Immediately after the
incident SLA surrounded the area on the pretext of
searching but deliberately ignored the direction in
which the gunmen escaped. |
