Dinesh Schaffter death no murder? Autopsy report raises controversy

Date:

By: Isuru Parakrama

Colombo (LNW): The death of Dinesh Schaffter, renowned businessman and Director of Janashakthi Group, was ruled due to cyanide poisoning, as autopsy reveals.

The autopsy report on Schaffter’s death was presented to No. 02 Magistrate Court of the Hulftsdorp Court complex by the investigative officers yesterday (08). The report reveals that his death was due to cyanide poisoning and the wounds sustained due to being strangled were not fatal.

However, Anuja Premaratne PC appearing for Schaffter argued that the medical reports produced on his client’s death are contradictory, suggesting that the same medical officer has produced two different causes of death.
