The Attorney General’s Department has served indictment before the Colombo High Court on former Colombo Chief Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) Dr. Ananda Samarasekara over the murder case of former Sri Lanka national rugby player, Wasim Thajudeen.
The Dr. Samarasekara has been indicted for allegedly concealing evidence in Thajudeen’s murder case.
Dr. Samarasekara was the former Chief JMO in Colombo and performed the first post-mortem examination on Thajudeen’s charred body found in 2012.
However, when the second autopsy was carried out in 2015 after exhuming Thajudeen’s body, the chest plate, trachea (windpipe) and two long bones which had symmetrical fractures were reportedly missing.
In 2017 The CID had informed court that evidence suggested that the former JMO had acted to destroy and conceal vital evidence in Thajudeen’s murder case.
