05 May, 2013

Hirunika Premachandra raised suspicion on MP Duminda Silva being re-admitted to hospital just a day before he was scheduled to appear in Court.
Premachandra claimed that the MP was attempting to avoid Court as he will be questioned on the murder of her father Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra.
Silva was taken to hospital today just a week after he was discharged after recovering from injuries suffered during the 2011 shooting incident.
Hirunika Premachandra said that she was?surprised?to hear MP Duminda Silva had been admitted to hospital again even after his much?publicised release from hospital.
Duminda Silva left the Nawaloka hospital last weekend after being given bail in the Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra murder case.
Four others were also granted bail by the Colombo High Court in relation to the case.
Silva returned to the island from Singapore in March after receiving?treatment for the injuries he suffered during the shooting incident.
Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra was killed in the shooting incident in October 2011 and Silva was seen as one of the main suspects in the murder. (Colombo Gazette)
