The case against the five suspects, Ponnasamy Karthigesu, Sivaligam Aruran, P Sharma, Chandra Bose Somaraj and Vellasamy Paramdevan were taken up for trial by Judge Iranganie Perera.
On observing that the state witness Gotabaya Rajapaksa was not present in Court she postponed the trial and ordered the prosecution to summon the witness on this date.
The accused were indicted by the Attorney General for conspiring to kill the then defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa in Colombo. (T. Farook Thajudeen)
