Sri Lanka, March 17 -- The Colombo Magistrate's Court has ordered the remand of eight suspects arrested in connection with the murder of two brothers in the Grandpass police division until March 27.

The suspects, who were arrested by Grandpass Police, were produced before Colombo Additional Magistrate Manjula Thilakaratne today (17).

Presenting facts before the court, the police requested that the suspects be remanded as investigations are still ongoing.

Meanwhile, the defense lawyers requested the court to issue an order ensuring the security of the suspects while in prison, as their opponents are also in remand custody.

Accordingly, after considering the facts presented, the court ordered the suspects to be remanded until March 27....
