Karuna released in UK

Vinayagmoorthy Muralitharan alias Karuna Amman was released yesterday following his imprisonment for possessing false documents, contrary to Section 25 of the Control of Identification Documents (offences) Act 2005.

He now remains under immigration detention powers, a British High Commission release said.

"We are deeply concerned that Karuna and his faction have allegedly been responsible for murder and abductions and are still believed to be involved in intimidation and child recruitment.

The Crown Prosecution Service has advised the Metropolitan Police Service that there is insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for any criminal offences in the UK," the High Commission release stated.
