Wijaya Kumaranatunge

If Jeevan is living today he would have been 75 years old.

He was a guy active in politics and was a good actor.

He was believed to be assassinated by JVP.

But he had enemies within (SLFP) and outside (UNP of JRJ) and JVP (a spies planted Inside JVP  by JRJ- CIA tactics).

JVP may not have carried it by themselves but close collaboration with UNP.

However Gamanayake was against the plot of killing Wijaya.

The guy supposed to be the assassin died under police custody.

A typical political assassination.

Wijaya was supposed to marry Melanie Fonseka (popular actress) and it was proposed that artists connived to assassinate Wijaya.

Jeewan Kumaranatunge is the elder brother and Ranjan Ramanayake is related to him.

He was assassinated in Polhengoda near his house.

I was in UK and I was not at all interested in politics of Ceylon, then.
