Envoy assault suspect further remanded
Manjula Weerakoon, the suspect who was in remand custody for allegedly verbally abusing and attempting to assault a Russian diplomat at a supermarket car park in Colombo, was further remanded till September 21 by Colombo Fort Magistrate Priyantha Liyanage today.
The victim, first witness in the case, had not appeared in Court today and therefore the identification parade which was scheduled to be held today had been fixed for September 21.
The suspect was arrested by the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) after his anticipatory bail application was rejected by Court.
He filed an anticipatory bail application through his counsel to pre-empt the possibility of his arrest over charges filed against him by the CCD. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)
