Rununu University student Indika Basnayake alias Bassa who was wanted by the CID in connection with the alleged assault on fellow student Susantha Aruna Bandara, who died at the Badulla hospital recently, surrendered to the Badulla police.

The CID was conducting inquiries to arrest him following an alleged statement by the victim’s mother that the suspect was responsible for the assault on her son.

However, the postmortem of the deceased had revealed that the death was due to an abnormality in a blood vessel in the brain of the victim and that there was not evidence to suspect foul play.

The suspect was produced before the Badulla Magistrate Yasarath Bandara Nelundeniya and released on bail. He was ordered to appear in court on 24 September. (Daily Mirror online)
