person engaging the services of another party. But it was revealed in courts yesterday that this act of collective rape and subsequent murder was committed for the purpose of creating a blue video, which activity is in operation on an international level as revealed at the hearing of the case of which investigations are underway. 

Parts of the said video is supposed to have been marketed in Switzerland, it has been revealed. Acting Attorney General Mr. Dappula de Livera revealed yesterday about this that the rape scenes had been captured on video and then marketed and also that female children and young girls in South Asia are being subjected to sexual abuse and that those contents after being taped are being marketed by a profit-generating business which happens to be at the root of this racket. This information has further been confirmed when investigations have found that an underhand international mode of transactions were in operation for release of the individuals who had committed this criminal offence after they were apprehended, which information had leaked out in the process. Mr. de Livera further expressed yesterday that an inquiry has been launched in this connection with those involved in trying to protect those responsible for this crime and that there had even been an attempt to throw investigations under the carpet for a deal of Rs. 20 million. 

9 persons of the 12 suspects arrested with respect to the crime of abduction of the schoolgirl studying at Jaffna Punkudithiv Maha Vidyalaya on May 13 in the year 2015 for having murdered this girl after being collectively raped were served indictments by the Attorney General. Mr. de Livera quoting certain other points further said, "It is for the first time in the history of the island that a case is heard in the presence of a bench of judges comprising 3 judges. Schoolgirl Vidya has been abducted according to a premeditated plan and then sexually molested and finally murdered. This murder has been committed at about 7.30 in the morning of May 13 in the year 2015. 

The 9th suspect of the murder can be identified as having organised the crime. It has been tried to market the said video after videoing the rape proceedings. Though he had been here, he is someone who has attained Swiss citizenship. He has arrived here on and off from Switzerland. While being in Switzerland he has got together with 6 suspects and has preplanned this crime. 

Female children and young girls of South Asia are being subjected to sexual abuse and after videoing the act it is being marketed at an exorbitant sum of money. Though the 9th suspect of the murder has sought the help of a head of police offering him Rs. 20 million requesting him to be released. The 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th defendants have been involved in raping the student. They have raped her in turn. The 5th and 6th suspects are responsible for having taped the rape scenes from their mobile phones. Subsequently that video has been sold to a foreigner. Attempt to secure the said video has been futile. However, evidence to the effect that the video was marketed could of course be secured. 

The 2nd, 3rd and 6th suspects have raped the student inside a lonely house. After that, the student's body has been carried to where it was finally located and after her hands and feet were tied up, she was throttled and killed. The student has sustained injuries to her head. Maximum punishment should be meted out for this crime in accordance with the law. I believe that a decision should be pronounced where crimes of this nature would not rear its head once more".
