When the case was taken up today (08), the Colombo Crimes Prevention Division stated that further investigations on the matter are being conducted.
Hence, the Magistrate ordered to re-remand the suspect until October 22.
Bloemendhal Sanka was arrested over the murder of a person named Dinesh Eranga at Henamulla, Mattakkuliya on the 26th of December 2018.
