Computer removed as police raid Kelly's Sri Lankan home

The Sri Lankan holiday home of TV presenter Matthew Kelly has been raided by police.

Officials from Sri Lanka's National Child Protection Authority, accompanied by local police officers, seized 54 video tapes and a computer from the house in a suburb of Colombo.

NCPA chairman, Harendra De Silva, says the raid was carried out after a tip-off from a British journalist.

The Stars In Their Eyes presenter was arrested and bailed by Surrey Police last week over allegations of sexual abuse on boys under the age of 16 during the 1970s. Kelly, 52, has denied the claims.

Professor De Silva says his investigation team are playing through the videos, which mostly appeared to be cartoons and children's films.

Experts will begin analysing the contents of the computer on Monday but an initial search showes a number of adult sites have been accessed.
