Sri Lanka, April 25 -- The Colombo Magistrate's Court has granted police permission to detain and question the main suspect in the murder of social activist Dan Priyasad until April 30.

The suspect was produced before Colombo Additional Magistrate today (25) by the Mirihana Special Investigation Unit.

During the hearing, police informed the court that the suspect is also under investigation for illegal possession of ICE.

However, the suspect's lawyer argued that his client is not involved in the crime, despite being named as the main suspect in the case.
