Karuna was a former bodyguard to LTTE chief Velupillai Prabhakaran and effectively number two in the Tamil Tiger military organization.[1]
In March 2004, Muralitharan broke away from the Tamil Tigers.
The LTTE alleged that the real reason he broke way was because the LTTE's intelligence wing was closing in on him for alleged financial and personal misconduct, terming his break a "temporary aberration"[5].
Colonel Karuna was the LTTE head of the Eastern province in 1990, when between 113 police officers who surrendered to the group were subsequently massacred.
When Colonel Karuna was part of the LTTE, he was also implicated in the massacre of Muslims, including the Kattankudy and Erovar massacres in the eastern province. According to Sri Lankan military intelligence sources, "Karuna was not in the East province but in the Wanni during the time of the attacks on Kattankudy and Eravur Muslims. He was however intercepted giving orders to his cadres in the East in relation to various activities." [1]
. RSF (Reporters Without Borders), has accused him of muzzling local journalists by forming death squads to silence those who oppose his point of view. [12]
Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP)
has decided to appoint Minister Vinayagamurthi Muralitharan alias Karuna Amman to a post of vice president of the party.
K T Rajasingam played an important part
to breakup the TMVP for the President
and sources say he influenced the President
to provide unrestricted women access and liquor
to Karuna
to ensure that
he will not be able to raise his head
for ever as a Tamil leader.
