The remains of the late businessman Dinesh Schaffter exhumed a short while ago under judicial supervision at the Borella Cemetery.
Colombo Magistrate’s Court ordered the police to exhume the body to facilitate investigations by a five-member special forensic expert committee that probes the death of Schaffter.
The committee has requested the Colombo Magistrate’s Court to have the body of the businessman exhumed. A letter to that effect was submitted to the Court, last week, and the judge said that a new date would be fixed for hearing an order issued to the CID in response to the committee’s request.
