Mr. Seneviratne gave evidence as the third witness but as Gen. Fonseka’s counsel was not present he was not cross examined, said Colonel Duminda Gamage of the Directorate of Media.


Trade Minister Johnston Fernando who was to give evidence as the second witness was not present, hence his evidence was not recorded.
