The Colombo Additional Magistrate today rejected the bail applications submitted on behalf of former Senior DIG Anura Senanayake and former Crime OIC of the Narahenpita police Sumith Perera.

They were further remanded after being produced before the court today, Ada Derana reporter said.

He was questioned by the CID for several days before he was arrested. Former Crime OIC of the Narahenpita police Sumith Perera was also arrested for allegedly withholding evidence pertaining to the case. Thajudeen, a Sri Lankan ruggerite and former Havelock SC captain, was killed in Colombo in May 2012.
