CID probing new phone angle in Royal Park killing
By Asif Fuard
The CID investigating the murder of Yvonne Jonsson at the Royal Park condominium are now investigating into new leads based on the phone calls by the chief suspect Shramantha Jayamaha on the night of the crime.
The CID is trying to get a telephone analysis in an effort to track down the persons whom the suspect was in contact with and establish the motive for the killing.

The suspect’s fingerprints on the girl’s clothing were detected and other evidence had been submitted for DNA testing. “There was speculation that the parents had burnt the suspect’s clothes, but the blood-stained clothes are not necessary as we have collected substantial evidence”, a CID source said.

The CID also took prints from the crime scene of a blood-stained fingerprint of the suspect found on a wall. The DNA test results are due in three weeks.
The case is to be taken up again tomorrow before acting magistrate Amali Ranaweera who has ordered that the JMO reports be submitted to courts.
