Tiger spokesman Daya Master has claimed that they were not involved in last week’s killing of Reggie, the elder brother of renegade Batticaloa commander Karuna and two other dissidents. Daya Master denied the group’s involvement in a telephone conversation with Reuters last Thursday.
But the political division of the LTTE for Batticaloa-Amparai said, in a statement posted on TamilNet on Friday, that Karuna’s brother Reggie and two of his associates were shot dead by "the special jungle warfare units of the Jeyanthan Regiment around 5.30 a.m. on Tuesday (21). They were killed in a jungle near the Maduru Oya reservoir. Communications equipment, weapons with serial numbers erased and some documents were recovered."
