A special jury is to hear the case over the murder of former Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Parliamentarian Nadaraja Raviraj.
The Colombo High Court gave the approval to have a special jury when the case was heard today.
Raviraj, who was also a human rights lawyer was gunned down in the street by two men on a motorbike, a day after he led a protest demonstration over a Sri Lankan army bombing that killed civilians in 2006. (Colombo Gazette)
