Ex-Horana PS member acquitted

Panadura Provincial High Court Judge Dhamith Thotawatte acquitted former Horana Pradeshiya Sabha member Chandradasa Kalubowila, indicted by the Attorney-General over the attempted murder of Charith Muditha Sampath, yesterday.

The prosecution had not proved the indictments against the accused beyond reasonable doubt. Therefore, the court decided to acquit the accused. The accused was indicted by the Attorney- General with the attempted murder of Charith Muditha Sampath, a resident of Horana, on May 23, 2011.

Attorney-at-Law Sumedha V. Perera, defending the accused, told court that although the court held a lengthy trial, there was no evidence against the accused that he had committed the attempted murder of the complainant.
