The CID today informed the court that the Genetech Company had informed that the DNA samples of the 17 year-old schoolboy and 32 year-old suspect do not match those recovered from the body of the murder victim Seya Sadewmi.

The Minuwangoda Magistrate ordered the prison official to produce the two suspects before the court today when the case was taken up after CID filed a motion.

The DNA report was submitted to the Minuwangoda Magistrate’s Court by the CID yesterday.(Tony Karunanayake)

ITs fault of the court/magistrate NOT police. Dismiss that magistrate at once for proven incapacity and bring a civil claim the court.

Police arrest suspects not caused persons, they do not destroy the life of suspects but the media does. So our media, they are the people destroy 17 year old student by publishing unwanted stories until courts derision comes out . this is the bitter truth what we have to think. Think for a moment ! Thanks !

if our legal frame work cannot handle a simple case like this, how will the outside world be confident that we can handle the war crimes investigation ourselves

IGP should take action aginst these erront officers, if he wish to keep even little confidance on this Police Junta

How dependable is the partnership between Police and Genetech and what is the past success rate that this partnership has had to solve crime through DNA forensics are my questions? It seems someone is not telling the truth. If the Police contaminate a DNA sample, that forensic evidence is useless and no criminal court will accept.

Thank God for DNA. Some of the readers would have felt justified in lynching these two men, apparently innocent.

IF POLICE CAN THEY WILL DISTORT THE GENES (A-G-T-C CYCLE) OF THESE SUSPECTS TO MATCH THE DNA SAMPLE.

This indicates how efficient our police dept arresting people for crimes !

Premalal Thursday, 01 October 2015 04:23 PM

CID should also inform the basis on which they held two people in remand for such a length of time.

DHA Thursday, 01 October 2015 11:28 AM

Does that mean the 32 year old was forced to confess ??? Which means the real killer is still out there ???

simon Thursday, 01 October 2015 04:02 PM

What about the confession this 32 year old made.But the parents explanation was not the same.

SAAJIDH Thursday, 01 October 2015 02:15 PM

2 Innocent lives beign destroyed. As they say srilanka does not have an adequate legal framework in place!

Technology trumps police brutality. Time for some king sized law suits. Police themselves are not above the law.

Kumuthu Thursday, 01 October 2015 12:12 PM

We need international expert to investigate this case. Kondaya committed the crime wasting time and resources to fool the public. Good for nothing Sri Lankan system.

Sapu Thursday, 01 October 2015 12:09 PM

So there was another person?

Jaya Thursday, 01 October 2015 11:57 AM

Do the Police Department of Sri Lanka discharge there duties in efficient manner ?????

ANTON Thursday, 01 October 2015 11:35 AM

NOW POLICE WILL TRY TO CHANGE THE GENES OF THE SUSPECTS (A - G - C - T CYCLE) TO MATCH THE DNA SAMPLE
