Breakaway LTTE strongman Vinayagamurthi Muralitharan alias Karuna Amman was freed yesterday (May 08th) from a British prison, where he had been serving a nine-month jail term for entering the country on a fake passport.
He had been released ahead of the scheduled date of discharge due to good conduct in prison, reports said.
However, Karuna will be kept at an immigration centre until authorities look into the possibility of filing legal action against him on war crimes committed in Sri Lanka.
