Vas Gunawardana's wife warned

Additional Magistrate A.M.Sahabdeen yesterday warned Shayamali Priyadharshanie Perera, the wife of former DIG Vas Gunawardana, recently interdicted by the IGP on an allegation of murder of a wealthy businessman, not to interfere with witnesses and also with ongoing investigations in any manner.

This is sequel to a further report filed earlier by ASP Shanie Abeysekera of the CID that she had telephoned the wife of A.P.Sarathchandra a policeman held in custody, to urge her husband not to come forward as a witness for

the prosecution, besides requesting a telephone number of a member of the suspects' family.

Attorney at Law Ajith Pathirana appearing for Shayamali Priyadharshanie Perera submitted that the security of the former DIG had been withdrawn, and the lives of his client and her son, the only inmates in the household, are under threat.

"The four policemen currently held in custody are from the staff of the former DIG, hence his family had developed a close relationship with the suspects.

"The 25 telephone calls given by his client had been an outcome of this connection. "An undertaking was given that henceforth , no telephone calls whatsoever would be entertained

The suspect policeman on issue had under the Criminal Procedure Code made a confession to the Magistrate as stated in the B report.

"Apart from that, the purported threat made by Vas Gunawardana to the CID is a lie uttered with ulterior motives," counsel submitted.

In reply to a query, the Magistrate told counsel that his client is not required to appear on July 9, the next date of the non summary inquiry.
