TULF condemns the brutal murder of Mahinan lecturer of the Jaffna University
Finding of the mutilated body of Mr. Mahinan a Senior lecturer in Mathematics attached to the University of Jaffna, at the Bambalapity beach is shocking. He is neither wealthy for anyone to abduct him to extort money nor one with any Political affiliations for anyone to claim this as a politically motivated murder. Without getting involved in any controversy he had been involved fully in teaching his students mathematics and it is a mistery as to why he was murdered in this brutal manner. The decease of non violence and terror had not spared even the innocent lecturer. This type of incidents cannot be tolerated any more in our country. Those involved in this cruel murder should be arrested and brought before the Law of the land.
I hope at least his students will go all out to help the authorities to trace the murderer. This is a challenge entire University of Jaffna should accept.
These types of barbaric acts are ruining our culture and civilization. The value of human life has becomey so cheap that every Tom Dick and Harry can do anything and go Scot free. The elderly lecturer who came to Colombo to mark the scripts of the G.C.E A/L examinations was abducted and murdered when he was preparing to return to his duties at the University of Jaffna where he had been working during the most crucial period.
It is a pity that he had met his fate in this cruel manner. Every one of us will have to ask ourselves as to whether the Tamil community has lost its dignity completely?
While strongly condemning this barbaric act we express our deepest sympathies to the wife, children and relatives of the late Mr. Mahinan.
