CCD Takes Over Investigation Into Former SriLankan Airlines CEO’s Death 📉

The Colombo Crime Division (CCD) has officially assumed control of the investigation into the suspicious death of former SriLankan Airlines CEO Kapila Chandrasena. Key developments from the magisterial inquiry include: • Investigation Status: Two volumes of post-mortem reports were produced. Forensic evidence, including two blood samples and various medications found at the scene, is being submitted for analysis by the Government Analyst. • Technical Barriers: Investigators reported an inability to access the deceased’s iPhone 16 Pro Max. Attempts to bypass the facial recognition system post-mortem failed, leading to a request for court approval to seek assistance from the manufacturer or specialized institutions. • Evidence Analysis: The court questioned the status of unidentified medications and a belt allegedly used by the deceased; police confirmed these items are being forwarded for government forensic examination. • Legal Proceedings: Testimonies from the first and third witnesses have been recorded. The inquiry is postponed until 14 May to facilitate statements from eight additional witnesses.
