Fraud
case put off
The case against Military Spokesman Colonel Sumedha Perera and former
BASL Secretary Bandula Wijesinghe was postponed this week for October
13.
Acting
High Court Judge Deepali Wijesundara issued notice on Mr. Wijesinghe
who was not present at the hearing. The duo along with a former
caretaker of a property, H.M. Sarath Wijewardena, are charged with
claiming the property of a well-known philanthropist by fraudulent
means. The property was owned by the Kotte UC’s first Mayor,
Donald Obeysekere. It was later transferred to one of his sons,
Alexander Obeysekere. |
