Two Sri Lankan Special Task Force (STF) officers were yesterday granted bail over the killing of a Tamil man in Ariyalai in October last year.
The officers were arrested in November, after the murder weapon and vehicles used in the shooting were found in the Jaffna STF camp.
The victim, 24 year old Don Bosco Rikman died from a bullet injury.
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
