COLOMBO : The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) investigation regarding the death of Janashakthi Group Director Dinesh Schaffter has taken a new turn.
The investigations done by the Organized Crime Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department has taken a new turn with the investigators suspecting that the death of the Janashakthi director was not caused by the people they suspected earlier but due to some other incident.
CID sources say new evidence suggest a close associate of Schaffter whom the CID suspected strongly as the killer earlier is no longer considered as the prime suspect in the murder.
According to the request of the Criminal Investigation Department, a special team from the Government Analyst’s department went to the house where Schaffter lived in Flower Road, Colombo 7 on Saturday evening and conducted an inspection.
According to information from the investigation teams, the rest of the antenna wire that had been used to strangle Schaffter and some cable ties similar to one used to tie Schaffter’s hands were found in that house.(Daily News)
