Two Special Task Force intelligence officers accused of murdering a Tamil man in Jaffna last year have had their remand extended by the Jaffna magistrate.
The case of the Ariyalai murder of 24-year-old Don Bosco Rikman was taken up at Jaffna magistrates court on Tuesday.
The two officers’ remand was extended until April 3rd citing ongoing investigations by the Criminal Investigation Department.
Requests by the STF to release a three-wheeler and motorcycle held in connection with the murder were also rejected by the judge.
