Meanwhile, Attorney-at-Law Ajith Prasanna, who appeared on behalf of the defence, and who had given press interviews was strongly advised by the Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne. Senior attorney Janaka Bandara and advocate J.C. Weliamunna told court today that the attorney Ajith Prasanna will be pressurized by the CID officers, witnesses and aggrieved party members. The magistrate inquired from lawyer Ajith Prasanna about this allegation. Attorney-at-Law tried to explain the evidence given by the witness Vijayananthan who was involved in the case. But the Magistrate rejected the attorney's statement and asked him to answer the allegation made by the state attorneys. However, Attorney Ajith Prasanna, has not been able to correctly state for whom he was appearing. . Accordingly Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne has stated that the conduct of Attorney Ajith Prasanna is a violation of the Act on Victims and Witnesses and the Investigative Officers. The magistrate strongly advised lawyer Prasanna that he could be prosecuted in another court for his behaviour.
Attorney-at-Law Achala Seneviratne, appearing for the petitioner, stated that international warrants were issued to arrest Prasad Chandana Hettiarachchi, a fugitive who is a suspect in the case.
Former Navy Media Spokesman Commodore DKP Dassanayake has been arrested on suspicion by the Criminal Investigation Department, and released because for fear of losing "Ranaviru" and "Patriot" votes. Yet this mass murder cannot now be reversed. What is needed now is to assist the Criminal Investigation Department to bring the murderers to justice.
