The Hon. Dayasiri Jayasekara, Attorney-at-Law
Dayasiri Jayasekara tabled the B 29984/24 case report from the Mount Lavinia Magistrate’s Court, citing orders dated 6 September 2024 and 26 November 2024 directing police to immediately arrest and produce the suspects. He alleged that, despite these orders, the suspects were not arrested or produced and continued to avoid giving statements while police merely engaged with them. He urged that Parliament not be misled and invited Members to verify the tabled “B” report.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I now table the B 29984/24 case report. It clearly states that on 2024.09.06 the Magistrate ordered: “I order that the suspects be immediately arrested and produced.” Again on 2024.11.26: “Conclude investigations and immediately arrest and produce the suspects.”
¶ 02 But what happened? Saying investigations are not over, they did not come to give statements. The police kept going and talking to them. They did not come to give statements continuously. The Magistrate gave this order twice: on 2024.09.06 “immediately arrest and produce the suspects,” and again on 2024.11.26 “conclude investigations and immediately arrest and produce the suspects.” This is the Mount Lavinia Magistrate’s Court. I state this very clearly.
¶ 03 We should not mislead this Parliament by lying. I table this document containing these facts. The “B” report is tabled. Go and see.
