Has anybody been following this story on BBC? Subramaniam Sivakumar a shopkeeper in Willesden was found dead in his shop with his “hands by his side, with a shoelace around his neck and bags of rice placed over his body.” The report goes on to mention a group called the Tiger Boys had visited his shop on the 5th of January presumably to follow up on a request for some money as Subramaniam had noted in his diary that he was going to give the Tiger Boys 15,000 squids. Subramaniam Sivakumar was a Tamil Sri Lankan.
Tiger Boys, Sri Lankan, a request for a fairly large chunk of change, could this possibly be extortion by LTTE agents in England. It seems a possibility at first glance, though the BBC doesn’t make this seemingly obvious connection. Anybody out there know who the Tiger boys are, or have heard of them? Or even know anything more of this case? Apparently Subramaniam was restrained and he had puncture wounds near his ears and he died of a heart attack. Seems interesting but I can’t find much else regarding this case on the web.
P.S. While googling this I did stumble across the “Truth in Britain!” Yipes, take a read to see how fucked up us coloured people are!

It was featured on Crimewatch last night. I am more inclined to think that these Tiger boys are the ones who extort money from businesses for the LTTE. Speculation on my part of course but it seems obvious as it is well known that extortion by LTTE members takes place in the UK. Perhaps other shopkeepers are too scared to come forward for fear of reprisals or this murder may possible serve as a warning to others to toe the line…

Hadn’t heard about this incident, but the Human Rights Watch website has a HUGE section about LTTE funding in UK, Canada etc. I started reading it but revision got in the way.
With regards to BBC not making the connection…I’m hardly surprised.
