The trial of Kondeya’s elder brother charged with the murder of ‘Seya’ was commenced at the Negombo High Court today.

The case was taken up for hearing before Judge Champa Rajaratne this morning, Ada Derana reporter said.

Earlier, the Minuwangoda Magistrate was apprised that DNA samples found on Seya Sadewmi match Saman Jayalath.

This was informed after the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) submitted a report prepared by the Genetech Molecular Diagnostics Research Institute (GMDRI) on the DNA tests.

Seya Sadewmi was found strangled to death on September 13 while she was reported missing from her home at Kotadeniyawa in Divulapitiya on the previous day.
