Colombo High Court Judge Vikum Kaluarachchi on Thursday ordered to make submissions on 2 March on the case against former Senior DIG Western Province Anura Senanayake who is charged with concealing evidence of the murder of rugby player Wasim Thajudeen.

Considering the information made available to the court that the former Senior DIG Anura Senanayake has been sick and unable to attend court, the judge ordered that the witness lists of both sides be presented to court on 30 January.

The Attorney General has charged the defendant of committing an offense punishable under Section 198 of the Penal Code for concealing evidence of the murder of rugby player Wasim Thajudeen.

When the case was taken up for hearing today, attorneys appearing on behalf of the former Senior DIG Anura Senanayake said that he was unable to appear in court as his health was in serious condition. The judge ordered the case to be taken up again on 2 March.
