On Thursday, on the advice of the Attorney General, the suspects were indicted in the Colombo High Court for the crimes committed in December 2011.
The other charges against the suspects include unlawful assembly in a hotel, possession of unlicensed weapons and intimidation. The suspects are Tangalle Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman S.C. Vidanapathirana, B.A. Lahiru Kelum, Saman Deshapriya, W. Preneeth Chaturanga, M. Sarath Herath, Sugan, S.P. Preneeth Chaturanga, H.G. Nuwan Chinthaka Herath and E.P. Nadeera Shamel.
CID investigations revealed that the suspects unlawfully assembled at the Nature Hotel on Christmas eve, 2011, entered the hotel premises with unlicensed weapons and threatened the staff. The case was initially heard at the Tangalle Courts and thereafter transferred to the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s court for further hearing.
The suspects are out on bail. The indictment of the suspects came just days after British Prime Minister David Cameron said he would in his talks with President Mahinda Rajapaksa during next month Commonwealth summit express serious concern about the slow progress of the case.
