Colombo Additional Magistrate Aruni Attigalle today directed the prison Authority to submit a comprehensive medical report within two weeks on Duminda Silva who was accused of not declaring his assets and liabilities for three years by the Bribery Commission.
Duminda Silva was brought in an Ambulance to Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court today morning to produce him for the three Corruption cases.
However, the suspect was interestingly kept in the ambulance and not produced before the magistrate due to the critical health condition.
Defence counsel told court that his client is unable to leave the ambulance and come before the court since his health condition is very critical.
After confirming that the suspect was brought and present in the Court premises, Magistrate put off the cases for January 26.
The Bribery Commission had filed three separate cases against Mr. Silva under the Assets and Liabilities Act for not declaring his assets in 2010, 2011 and 2013.
The Bribery Commission had named Parliament Deputy Secretary General P.M.Neil Parakrama and several others as witnesses. Senior counsel Anuja Premaratne appeared for the defence.
The Colombo High Court sentenced him to death after being convicted of the murder of Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra.
