Earlier today, Special Task Force (STF) troopers arrested Thevarasu Sinnathamby, 40, a mother of two, in connection with the killing of a former member of a paramilitary group, EPRLF, at Mandoor last Sunday said sources.

The STF accused the woman, a widow from Aanaikaddiyaveli, of helping the Liberation Tigers in the assassination of the Nakamani Arulanantham. The victim was working with the STF said sources.

The STF said Thevarasu Sinnathamby was at the scene when the incident took place.

The woman's relatives, however, said that she has nothing to do with the Tigers. They said she was on her way to work when the incident took place.
