Sarath Malalasekera
The Maharagama Police produced two suspects before Maharagama
Magistrate Sumith Perera who were alleged to have been involved in
connection with the death of a student who had died due to an internal
haemorrhage, according to the medical evidence.
The student's mother informed courts that she suspects foul play and
requested to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the death.
Senior Counsel Upali Senaratne who appeared for the suspects
submitted to court that the suspects should be discharged as there was
no evidence to prove that this was a murder, according to medical
evidence before court. After the submissions by Senior Counsel Upali
Senaratne and the Police the judge ordered the two suspects to be
remanded till today.
The student's mother and another student of the boxing team of the
same school gave evidence at the magisterial inquiry.
