A mobile phone, which was reportedly used by former Sri Lankan Rugby player Wasim Thajudeen, has been found from the possession of a youth in Agarapatana area in Nuwara Eliya, the police say.
The mobile phone was apparently given to the youth by his father who is the owner of a shop in Narahenpita, Police Spokesperson ASP Ruwan Gunasekara said.
Thajudeen was found dead inside his car which had apparently crashed into a wall in Narahenpita on May 17, 2012.
The body of Wasim Thajudeen was exhumed, last month. The remains have been placed under the custody of the Colombo Judicial Medical Officer.
The Colombo Additional Magistrate had earlier ordered the JMO of the Colombo National Hospital to exhume the remains of Thajudeen, who had died under suspicious circumstances.
