The Colombo Magistrate’s Court ruled today (01) that the death of businessman Dinesh Shafter was due to pressure on the neck and face.
Accordingly, the magistrate ruled that a crime had been committed through this incident and ordered the director of the Criminal Investigation Department to arrest the suspects involved and present them to the court.
Colombo Additional Magistrate Rajindra Jayasuriya announced this verdict after considering the reports submitted by the five-member expert medical committee appointed by the court to investigate Shafter’s death.
