Dinesh Schaffter’s secretary had not informed police over meeting with Brian Thomas



The police said today that it was an executive officer of businessman Dinesh Schaffter and not his secretary, who had informed the police that Dinesh had scheduled a meeting with former cricket commentator Brian Thomas on the day Schaffter was killed.

Meanwhile, police said that statements had been recorded from over 50 people over Schaffter's murder. It was earlier reported that the secretary of Dinesh Schaffter had informed the police that Schaffter had been planning to meet Brian Thomas on the day he was killed. However, an official of Dinesh Schaffter's company told Daily Mirror it was an executive grade officer who informed the police about the meeting and the police had never recorded a statement from Schaffter's secretary over the incident.

Police said the executive officer who found Dinesh at the Borella Cemetery and later took him to the Colombo National Hospital had informed the Borella police after the death that Dineshwas scheduled to meet Thomas.

However, investigations carried out so far had revealed that a text message was sent from the mobile phone of Dinesh Schaffter to the mobile phone of Brian Thomas after Schaffter became a victim at the Borella Cemetery.

The investigators are yet to make an arrest.

However, sources within the department said that they are working 24-hour daily in this case and would be able to solve the murder mystery soon.
