Deputy Solicitor General Dilan Ratnayake today told court that another suspicious phone number used by former SDIG Anura Senanayake to contact Presidential Secretariat during the time period that Wasim Thajudeen's death had occurred was recovered by the CID recently.
He said a broad investigation is being conducted by the prosecution through the suspicious phone number.
Filing a further report in court, the prosecution sought court permission to check credit card bill details of late Wasim thajudeen from 15 financial institutions during the time period of May 16 -17 in 2012.
The prosecution also informed court that the investigation relating to the suspicious transactions of eight individuals since 2012 was being continued following the court order obtained earlier to peruse details of 15 financial institutes.
Counsel, who appeared for the Sri Lanka Medical Council told court that the extracts of the internal inquiry, which conducted against former chief JMO Ananda Samarasekara and two others over the alleged irregularities occurred during the first autopsy of Thajudeen, had been sent to the CID.
The prosecution said that the analytical report of University of Colombo on the CCTV footage which contained suspicious vehicle that chased Thajudeen's vehicle on the day that he was found dead, and the DNA test report on the recovered 19 femur bone pieces and seven bone pieces of chest area at the SAITM laboratory were still pending.
Earlier, the CID and a team of experts searched the SAITM Laboratory based on the information revealed during the investigation that the former JMO Ananda Samaraseka had dispatched few body parts of late Wasim Thajudeen to the SAITM.
Then the Recovered body parts were sent to the 'Genetech' to conduct a DNA test using DNAs of Thajudeen's mother.
The prosecution said that the suspects -- former SDIG Anura Senanayake and former Narahenpita Crimes OIC Sumith Perera -- had been charged under Sections 113 (Conspiracy) and 32 (Liability for act done by several persons in furtherance of a common intention) of the Penal Code, and that according to the provision in Section 13 of the Bail Act, a person who had been charged with an offence punishable with death or with life imprisonment, shall not be released on bail except by a judge of the High Court.
However, first suspect, Sumith Perera was granted bail by the Colombo High Court earlier following a revision application filed on behalf of the suspect.
The former SDIG and the former Crimes OIC have also been charged with causing the disappearance of evidence, fabricating false evidence, using it to shield the offender and conspiring under Clauses of 189,198 and 296 of the Penal Code.
Considering that the suspect, Anura Senanayake had already filed revision bail applications in the High Court, Colombo Additional Magistrate Jeyaram Trotsky re-remanded the suspects till March 16 while the first suspect was ordered to appear in court on April 27.
