A motion has been filed before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court, claiming that the misidentification and public mention of the name Mohamed Azman Sheriffdeen in connection with the murder of alleged underworld leader Ganemulla Sanjeewa has caused injustice to his family.

The motion was filed by a brother of Mohamed Azman Sheriffdeen, arguing that the suspect arrested on 19 February for the murder is not the same person.

Attorney Dasun Perera on behalf of Attorney Nuwan Jayawardena informed court that the Police had detained a different individual and that Mohamed Azman Sheriffdeen and the arrested suspect are two different people.

The attorney further noted that this misidentification has caused both legal and social difficulties for Sheriffdeen’s family and requested the court to issue an appropriate order.

Considering the submissions, Chief Magistrate Thanuja Lakmali informed the attorneys that since the suspect had not yet been produced before the Court, his client should submit the request after the suspect’s court appearance.
