The cause of death of well-known businessman Dinesh Schaffter has never been determined by the investigators as suicide.
Police Media Spokesman Senior Superintendent of Police Nihal Talduwa said that the CID has confirmed that the cause of death of Dinesh Schaffter was suicide, as reported by several newspapers published over the weekend. The investigating officers have not received any reports that Dinesh Shafter’s death was due to suicide.
The media spokesperson told reporters to report only authentic information that has been confirmed; if not, it would be an obstacle to the investigation.
He pointed out that the statements of nearly 175 people involved in the murder have been recorded, and nearly 14 case productions have been sent to the government analyst for further investigations.
“In addition, data, including telephone and bank records, is being collected… In-depth investigations related to the incident are underway. “However, no direct suspects or a specific cause of death have been established yet,” explained the police media spokesperson.
The 52-year-old businessman was found tied to the driver’s seat of his car at the Borella Cemetery on December 15, 2022, and later died while undergoing treatment at the Colombo National Hospital’s intensive care unit.
