NCPA condemns Trinco abduction, murder

The National Child Protection Authority has vehemently condemned the abduction and killing of Jude Gerry Varsha, Grade one student of St. Mary's Girls School Trincomalee and expressed its deepest sympathies to the bereaved parents.

The Authority in a statement issued under the hand of its Chairman Jagath Wellawatta said the objective of the extortionists and their behaviour before the murder had features of a post war society.

Although terrorism may be wiped out soon the Government, security forces and police will have to take great pains to prevent this type of unseen terrorist activity.

The authority would therefore call upon all democratic political parties in the liberated areas, NGOs and civil organisations to set up organisational networks to prevent crimes of this nature which would frighten and shatter civil society.

The people in these areas specially should pay maximum attention to their children if they want to truly enjoy the joy of liberation from terrorism.
