The Colombo High Court yesterday adjudicated the case that was being heard before the High Court and terminated further inquiry, as the suspect of the case had passed away.

High Court Judge Manjula Thilakaratne, on considering the submission made by the Counsel who appeared on behalf of the relations of the former JMO of Colombo, asserted that Prof. Ananda Samarasekera had passed away. Consequently, the Judge closed further proceedings of the case.

The Attorney General indicted the former JMO Prof. Samarasekera for covering the forensic evidence into the suspicious death of rugby player Wasim Thajudeen who died under apprehensive circumstances near Shalika Grounds, Park Road, Narahenpita.

At the beginning, the death was confirmed as a road accident, but on further forensic investigations, it was ruled to be a murder.
