The Colombo Magistrate’s Court, under Additional Magistrate Harshana Kekunawela, requested an update from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) regarding the death of businessman Dinesh Schaffter.
The CID reported ongoing investigations.
Family attorneys sought access to the deceased's mobile phones, citing sensitive data.
The court awaits a report from the Government Analyst before deciding. The case was postponed to 23 July.
Previously, a committee found Schaffter's death involved foul play, prompting orders for suspect arrests.
The court also authorized the release of Schaffter's remains to his family for burial at Jawatte Cemetery.
