Five suspects in remand custody were produced at the identification parade held before Fort Magistrate Kanishka Wijeratne.

Meanwhile Minister Mervyn Silva’s son Malaka Silva and Rehan Wijeratne who are released on bail over the assault incident also appeared before the court today.

Major Chandana Pradeep of Army Intelligence, who recanted his statement that Malaka and Rehan assaulted him, on Friday told court that the incident had occurred due to him experiencing sudden distress.
