this is one possible idea/suggestion,

have a stealth wrapper to your /usr/bin/rm and /usr/sbin/unlink commands

stealth wrapper.
when the commands rm or unlink is executed first the wrapper which contains the underlying base command would be executed.
With that you can log the userid, file being deleted, time of deletion.

its actually you are wrapper script executed first upon invoking rm or unlink system calls. Then the wrapper in turn executes the required command.

This should give you a clue/option to proceed.

ikisite-wrapper

ikisite-wrapper(1)					      General Commands Manual						ikisite-wrapper(1)

NAME

       ikisite-wrapper - suid wrapper for ikisite

SYNOPSIS

       ikisite-wrapper subcommand options

DESCRIPTION

       ikisite-wrapper is a wrapper around ikisite. It is designed to be safely made suid root, though it is not currently suid by default.

       A  few  ikisite subcommands can be run using the wrapper without any authorisation at all. These include: create, branch, list, sitelookup,
       checklock, updatecustomersite, and enabledns. So making the wrapper suid allows any user to create a site.

       Other ikisite subcommands can only be run using the wrapper by users who specify a nonce in the IKISITE_NONCE environment  variable.  These
       include: delete, changesetup, domains, and deletenonce.

       A  site's  current  nonces  are stored in its .ikisite-nonce file. A nonce can be generated by root or the site's user via using the creat-
       enonce subcommand, but it's usually generated by passing --createnonce to the create or branch subcommands. This allows anyone to create or
       branch a site and then use the nonce to allow further configuration of it (and delete it if something goes wrong).

       Subcommands that can be called by the wrapper either without or with a nonce should be sure to fully validate their inputs.
