Colombo High Court today re-fixed the trial against Parliamentarian Hirunika Premachandra and eight others over an alleged abduction of a youth in Dematagoda area, since the absence of the accused, Premachandra.

Submitting a medical report on Hirunika Premachandra, Defence Counsel who appeared for the accused, informed court today that his client is currently being treated at a private hospital for a considerable illness, therefore could not appear before court.

Subsequently, Colombo High Court judge R. Gurusinghe re-fixed the trial of the case for April 26 and 27.

The Attorney General had filed indictments on 29 counts against the suspects.

Earlier, the suspects were produced in Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court at the non summary trial and now on bail over the incident.

The victim, Amila Priyanga, was alleged to have been abducted by the suspects.

The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras which were later used by the police to arrest the suspects. (Shehan Chamika Silva)

Not done. Face trial and bow down to the judgement. Take up punishment if punished. Since you are young you still have time to shape up future. We look at you as a HEERO young lady. via DM Android App
