Statements are being recorded from nearly 180 policemen, who are witnesses in this case, said the official.

More than half of the personnel who had been on duty at Narahepita police by May 2012 have already given statements to the CID.

Senior SP Chula de Silva, the officer in charge of Narahenpita police division at the time, gave a statement on May 03, and a statement was recorded from DIG of Colombo traffic division Amarasiri Senaratne yesterday (04).

Based on these two officials’ statements, Senanayake is to be questioned.

The attorney general’s department has instructed the CID to file charges concrete based on tangible evidence even if it takes time.
