The Negombo Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) who inspected the schoolboy and the other suspect  who were previously arrested in connection with the killing of Seya Sadewmi in Kotadeniyawa has been summoned to the Human Rights Commission.

Human Rights Commissioner Priyantha Perera had recommended the Negombo JMO to report to the HRC after the commission identified that the two reports compiled by the JMO during investigations regarding the schools boy had contradictions and inconsistencies.

The President of the Ceylon Teachers Union (CTU) Mr. Joseph Stalin filed a petition with the SLHRC against arresting the schoolboy without proper evidence.

He told the Daily Mirror that affidavits made by the residents in Kotadeniyawa had also been presented before the HRC today.

The residents in their affidavits had stated that Kotadeniyawa police officers had allegedly attempted to make the school boy guilt in connection with the murder to finish the investigations soon.

The 17-year-old schoolboy, the father of one who had been arrested, their parents, ASP Gallage and the Kotadeniyawa Police OIC had attended the hearing of the petition today.

The petition had stated that the boy was illegally detained for two days in police custody, assaulted without following proper methods when detaining a schoolboy. (Piyumi Fonseka)

    With such incriminating evidence of abuse on the child, why has the OIC not been arrested? What about the magistrate who remanded the suspects with floosy petty evidence, the magistrate also needs to be investigated and disciplined.

    Who is crazy? They cannot arrest anybody without proper evidence and also they have no right assault and force them to confess.

    Susan - the police can arrest anybody on suspicion, but the police has no right to touch the suspect until investigations are over, he can be questioned in a proper manner but not brutally attacked. So wake up Ms Susan and see the reality. HRC is not investigating the arrest on suspicion but the brutal manner this young 17 year old was treated along with the 32 yr old father.

    JMO is in hot water.

    IGP Tuesday, 13 October 2015 11:10 AM

    I guess you are still in kindergarten. Not guilty until proven.

    Peter Tuesday, 13 October 2015 11:20 AM

    Susan.....keep your thoughts that come out of your nutshell within yourself please.
