Minister Mervyn Silva’s son Malaka who is in remand custody on charges of having assaulted a foreign couple at a night club, was today further remanded till November 25 by Colombo Additional Magistrate A. M. Sahabdeen.

The identification parade which was to be held today was put off because the two foreigners were not present in Court; the identification parade was put off for November 25.

The Magistrate directed the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) to make sure that the foreigners were present in Court on that date or in their absence he would be compelled to cancel the identification parade.

Poloce informed the Court that the foreign woman was receiving treatment at a hospital in Colombo and as such was unable to attend today’s Court proceedings.

Meanwhile, the Magistrate directed the prison officials to transfer Malaka Silva from the General Hospital to the Welikada Prison and said in case Malaka needed further medical treatment, he could do so at the Prison Hospital.

Malaka was produced in Court when the case was taken up for inquiry today.

Meanwhile, six other suspects including two Ministerial Security Division officers were also produced in Court and remanded till November 25. (T. Farook Thajudeen)

Why are these thugs in "Burqua"? Its funny how they assault people openly and then come to courts all covered up. This only goes to show the cowards that they are. And those who come to their aid are all dressed in funeral attire. Hope these scum bags get "buried" in prison for the reset of their live

When they enter night clubs with Malaka, they walk in proudly with walkie talkie pointing body guards pushing everybody to a side to make way for them. For a brief period in time, they feel invincible and powerful. The world is at their fingertips. When they walk into court, they are covered in blankets, hiding their faces in shame. Poor friends. Malaka arrived in a seperate van, but they were sent in the prison bus. The chef, the businessman and the salon owner....reveal yourselves you cowards!

Vermin should be got rid off in a proper manner. Prison punishment is not the case.
