Lawyers of MP Duminda Silva has informed the Colombo Magistrate Court today that CID officials would be able to record a statement from Mr. Silva by next month.

Silva’s counsel also informed court that Mr. Silva was recovering from the injuries he suffered in the Mulleriyawa shooting.

President Counsel Hemantha Warnakulasuriya appearing for Mr. Silva told Acting Magistrate Manjula Karunaratne that this matter could be clarified from Mr. Silva’s doctor.

President Counsel Thirantha Walaliyadda appearing on behalf of former presidential adviser Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra’s widow asked the CID whether Duminda Silva would be arrested and asked whether he could obtain certified copies of the contempt of court papers filed by Mr. Silva’s counsel against Mr. Premachandra’s daughter Hirunika.

Mr. Walaliyadda said he needs those copies before deciding whether he should go to a different forum to seek redress.ASP Shani Abeysekera said the Attorney General was still to give her opinion on the investigation report into the killing of four people including Mr. Premachandra at Mulleriyawa on the day of the local council elections.

The case was fixed for June 26 and the suspects remanded till then.

What an indictment on our Justice system when the alleged criminal has defied all legal protocols and evaded giving even a statement to the police on a murder charge for so many months so far!

CID report is delayed ,. Therefore court should proceed on ex-pate hearing.

you sound surprised... this is 'normal', the common man is almost conditioned to this and therein lies the problem...

If and when he gives a statement, he will say that Bharatha shot him in the head and later shot himself

Finally! what the whole country has been waiting for - THE STATEMENT! ( It's ok if he's freed after that, Thanks).

From when did the CID start working in conjunction with Criminals and to act according to their time-tables and wimps and fancies?
Which God to tell and cry?

And also it was in last Sunday papers that Duminda visited D M Jayaratne in hospital in Singapore. If he can do that what medical condition prevents him from giving a statement. What sort of a miraculous statement CID expects from him? a statement that incriminates himself!!!
