Former Army Commander Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka, leader of the Democratic Party yesterday said that there was no evidence to prove LTTE leader Prabhakaran’s son had been killed by the army.
Field Marshal Fonseka was addressing the media at his party headquarters in Pelawatte.
Asked to comment on former Indian High Commissioner to Sri Lanka Gopalkrishna Gandhi’s claim that the army had committed a war crime by killing Prabhakaran’s son, Balachandran, Fonseka said if the Tiger leader’s son had been killed it amounted to a war crime, but added there was no evidence to prove the former High Commissioner’s statement.
He said there were only two photographs and a video of Balachandtran. In one of the pictures his body was seen lying in a jungle patch between the Nanthikadal lagoon and the sea and the other showed the 12-year-old in a bunker.
“Both these photographs and the video do not provide any evidence that the terrorist leader’s son was killed by the army; no other persons are seen in the pictures.”
Fonseka said “Nobody has been able to prove this allegation though many have voiced their opinion. It is either a figment of their imagination or a fabrication to implicate the army.”
The Field Marshal said certain elements with vested interests were making an attempt to tarnish the image the army and now they would have to eat their words.

The pictures of Prabhakaran’s son shows him sitting down quite comfortably in a trusting environment. The next we see is his dead body with bullet wounds from which there is no blood flowing. My explanation is that he was poisoned by his father’s trusty comrades and then the dead body shot at to implicate the Sri Lankan Army of an atrocity.
The point to note is that dead bodies don’t bleed as the heart has stopped pumping blood.
This is what happened to Jesus in reverse. On the cross although he was pronounced dead – he was not dead!
