The order on the exhuming of the body of slain national ruggerite Wasim Thajudeen is to be delivered tomorrow by Colombo Additional Magistrate Nishantha Peiris.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) today made a request to exhume the body in order to obtain an analytical report on the bone fractures of Thajudeen.
The CID informed the Colombo Additional Magistrate last Monday that the death of Thajudeen was not accidental but a murder.
The CID informed Magistrate Peiris that the investigations conducted so far had revealed that the ruggerite’s teeth had been broken, the bones in the pelvic region also broken and his neck pierced with a sharp instrument prior to his death. The CID added that muscles in his legs had been cut with a piece of broken glass.
