The Colombo Fort Magistrate's Court on today (08) issued a reminder to the Government Analyst to submit a forensic report on unidentified substances recovered from the scene where former SriLankan Airlines Chief Executive Officer Kapila Chandrasena was found dead.
The investigation into the incident was taken up today before Colombo Fort Magistrate Pasan Amarasena, said Ada Derana reporter.
During the proceedings, officers of the Colombo Crime Division (CCD) informed the court that several unidentified medicines found at the location where the deceased was found had been forwarded to the Government Analyst, but the relevant analytical reports have not yet been received.
