A special Criminal Investigation Department (CID) team headed by a Supdt. of Police, has been despatched to Jaffna on the instructions of IGP Chandra Fernando to probe into the circumstances that led to the abduction and murder of Jaffna Supdt. of Police Charles Wijewardena last week, DIG (CID) Lionel Gunatilleke told the Sunday Observer.

They would investigate the death of a barber who was reportedly killed when a soldier's firearm went off accidentally inside a barber shop at Inuvil.

The soldiers involved will be questioned as to why they went inside a barber shop for a hair cut when such facilities are available at army camps. SP Wijewardena was abducted by a group of persons on Thursday evening around 5.30 p.m. at Inuvil, enraged over the killing of the barber.

His body was found two hours later in the Inuvil area. SP Wijewardena had gone to Inuvil that day to restore peace when angry mobs were demonstrating and burning tyres on the road.
