Suspects refused bail by Sarath Malalasekera Colombo Chief Magistrate and Additional District Judge Ms. Kusala Sarojini Weerawardena, hearing the case against four suspects who are alleged to have issued a forged National Identity Card to the LTTE woman suicide bomber yesterday refused an application for bail and re-remanded the four suspects till August 16. The Criminal Investigation Department probing the bomb blast at the Kollupitiya police station yesterday filing a further report before court said that the files pertaining to the issuing of forged National Identity Cards are missing from the office. The report further stated that several staff including senior employees attached to the National Identity Card office too have been involved in issuing forged National Identity Cards. Inspector Shani Abeysekera of the CID objected to the suspects being released on bail as the investigations into the matter were not yet complete. Over 34 employees of the National Identity Card office had been questioned in connection with their investigations, Inspector Abeysekera told court. On an application by the CID the Judge further remanded the four suspects till August 16. They are Mohamed A. Refideen of Maradana, K. Kularathna Fernando of Mount Lavinia, Mohamed Mubarak Mohamed Rizwaan of Panadura and Indrajith Nandana Karunanayake of Veyangoda. The four suspects are alleged to have issued a forged National Identity Card to the LTTE woman suicide bomber and her accomplice, Sathyaleela Selvakumar. CID investigations revealed that the woman suicide bomber had been brought to Colombo by several LTTE members. |
