Counsel for the injured MP Duminda Silva informed the Colombo Magistrate’s Court today that it would take ‘at least two to three years’ for Silva to recover from his skull injury.

The Counsel made these observations when the Mr. Silva’s bail application was taken up today.  

The counsel further said that a titanium plate and a cerebral mesh had been inserted into his skull after it was damaged in the October 8 shootout, in which Mr. Silva has also been named as a suspect and is now under Police custody. The case was postponed to march 15.
