According to a statement given by a police officer to the CID, who was attached to Mr. Jayasekara’s security in 2015, it was revealed that, on June 13, 2015 Mr. Jayasekara had asked his security officer, Amila Kumara Herath, to encash a cash cheque ( bearing number 566635) which was issued by Walt & Row Associates (under the current account number 0073900773)
According to the statement of Mr. Herath, he then had encashed the cheque from a Kurunegala Bank and subsequently the Mmney ‘in cash’ was handed over to Mr. Jayasekara.
Due to the suspicious nature in which Perpetual Treasuries Ltd had transacted with its group companies (W.M. & Mendis and Walt & Row Associates) to encash cheques which had been ultimately lasted with third parties, the prosecution also obtained a court order to the Chief Executive Officer of Walt & Row Associates to provide details about cheque transactions relating to such nature.
