Colombo High Court served indictments on former DIG Vass Gunawardena, his wife Shamalie Priyadarshani Perera, son Ravindu and five other Police officers of the CCD, who had been named by the Attorney General as accused in the Nipuna Ramanayake assault case.

Today, when the case was called before High Court Judge Iranganie N. Ranawaka Gunawardena the Attorney General served the indictments on the eight suspects. Consequently the Judge fixed trial for February 6, 7 and 8 next year.

The Judge released six, other than Vass Gunawardena and Ravindu Gunawardena, on bail.

The passports of the accused, release on bail were impounded, and they were ordered to appear before the Special Crimes Division OIC of Police Headquarters on last Saturdays of every month.

The accused were indicted for abducting Nipuna Ramanayake, a 21-year-old student of the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT) at Malabe on August 09, 2009 at gun point and for assaulting him for several hours, over a personal feud by Ravindu, his mother and a group of Police officers.

Accused Gunawardena and his son Ravindu were produced in court from the prison where they were remanded for the killing of Bambalapitiya businessman Mohammed Shiyam. (Shehan Chamika Silva and Farook Thajudeen)

A good example of how your crimes of your past eventually catch up with you. Sounds like its a family business.

The irony is this guy has worked as an honest person for Sri Lanka Police Dep. Suddenly was arrested under MR regime. Now he has murder case/weapons case/assault case/Threaten to police officer case/bribery case filed by Singapore Sarath. Something fishy is going on. His wife filed a case against a very famous lady in FCID for stealing gold, nothing happen. God only knows.

Nothing fishy - he has got exposed for what he and family did - he and family should suffer mainly for what they did to the SLIIT student and everything covered up by MaRa.

May be saranapala does not know but surely God knows about the family misdeeds.
