Post-mortem report due tomorrow:
Death of Udayanga's translator
The post-mortem report of the man who died allegedly under suspicious
circumstances nine months ago while working as a translator and private
secretary to Sri Lanka's former Ambassador in Moscow Udayanga Weeratunga
is due tomorrow, Police Spokesman ASP Ruwan Gunasekera said.
The body of Kaluaarachchige Noel Ranaweera (36) was exhumed at the
Welikadamulla cemetery, Nittambuwa in the presence of Judicial Medical
Officer, Ragama Dr. G.W. Wijegunawardena and Attanagalle Acting
Magistrate S. Abeygunawardena on Thursday. ASP Gunasekera said the body
which was exhumed following a complaint by the mother of the deceased,
is now lying at the Ragama hospital mortuary. She had complained that
her son could have been a victim of foul play.
Ranaweera was believed to have been recruited by Weeratunga initially
to work at his restaurant in Ukraine and later posted to work at the Sri
Lankan Embassy in Russia. The relatives said that there were
discrepancies in the death certificate and his sudden death followed his
visit to Sri Lanka where he had told relatives that he was involved in
some business involving 'big money'. |
