By Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana

Parliament, July 11 (Daily Mirror)- MPs of both sides in Parliament today questioned the airing of the video clip on the confession made by the tattoo shop owner who is held in connection with the killing of 'Club Wasantha' in Athurugiriya on Tuesday.

MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake who raised the issue initially said the video clip was a media show. 

"It is clear that the police have questioned the suspect earlier and then ran a media show later. We clearly saw the DIG who questioned the suspect reminding him of certain facts whenever the latter got stuck forgetting certain points. This kind of situation cannot be accepted," Dissanayake said.

"Chief Opposition Whip Lakshman Kiriella said the objective behind the airing of the video clip could be to clear those who are responsible for the killing.

Leader of the House Susil Premajayantha also said that the public airing of the video clip will affect the investigations and also the court case.
