Maharagama magistrate Sumith Perera released the two suspects
remanded in connection with the death of a student-boxer. He had died
due to an internal haemorrhage according to medical evidence.

submitted to court that there was no evidence to prove that this was a
murder according to medical evidence. After submissions by Senaratne and
the Police, the magistrate ordered the two suspects to furnish cash bail
in Rs.10,000 each and a bond of Rs 100,000 each.
The student's mother and another student of the boxing team of the
same school gave evidence at the magisterial inquiry earlier.
