A Colombo Magistrate today ordered police to provide court a list of names of doctors to select a five-member panel of doctors to be appointed to conduct the post-mortem inquiry of leading businessman Dinesh Schaffter.

Colombo Additional Magistrate Rajindra Jayasooriya made this direction to the CID during the magisterial inquiry into the suspicious death of leading Colombo businessman Dinesh Schaffter apparently attacked and abandoned in Colombo Kanatte burial Grounds under mysterious circumstances.

Dinesh Schaffter, a well-known business and former cricket administrator, was found seriously injured and tied to his car seat, on the premises of a Kanatte and was rushed to the hospital, where he succumbed to injuries.

The Police are conducting investigations to find out facts about the death of Mr. Schaffter. (T. Farook Thajudeen)

    Autopsy without a body? Who gave permission to cremate and not to bury when no final reason for the death was not confirmed firmly?

    If a honest investigation occurs many big names are bound to surface. they must have been responsible in helping the cremation. These things happen in Sri Lanka in great style

    At first the doctor who carried out the post-mortem stated that death was due to strangulation. The same doctor later changed this version to say that death was due to self-strangulation, causing us to wonder whether the deceased could have caused so much injury to himself after strangulating himself. The same doctor also stated that the deceased had died of cyanide poisoning. The big question is, did the deceased kill himself twice, and if so how did he kill himself first? These are the questions that remain forever once our police sleuths conduct their investigations.
