Former Colombo district parliamentarian Duminda Silva is likely to be released today (24) following a Presidential pardon, The Morning reported.
Legal sources told The Morning that the necessary arrangements for the release have been completed.
Duminda Silva was jailed in September 2016 after the Colombo High Court found him and four others guilty in the murder of former MP Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra.
At the time of the assassination, former parliamentarian Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra served as the Director General of Trade Union Affairs of President Mahinda Rajapaksa while Duminda Silva served as the monitoring MP of the Defence Ministry.
