Release of Lankan's body after Monday
From Neville de Silva in London
The body of 41-year old Sri Lankan Vipula Prasanna who died after an assault outside a tube station, will not be released for return to Colombo until sometime after tomorrow.

The post mortem report will be made available tomorrow when the accused charged with murdering Prasanna appears at the Old Bailey.

The Sri Lanka High Commission has made arrangements with SriLankan Airlines and an undertaker's firm to have the body taken to Colombo at highly concessionary rates.

The High Commission's Defence Attache had been instructed to follow developments, sources said. Prasanna who lived in nearby Sudbury worked in a shop in Brixton, reports said.
