Attorney representing Sampath Manampeiri informed the Court of Appeal today (15) that his client is prepared to surrender before the relevant Magistrate’s Court in connection with an incident in which two containers of chemical substances, allegedly intended for the production of crystal methamphetamine (“ice”), were discovered concealed in the Mideniya area.
Following this submission, the Court of Appeal ordered the Inspector General of Police to take necessary measures to ensure the personal safety of Manampeiri once he surrenders. The Court also directed investigating officers to be duly informed of these instructions.
The order was issued after considering a writ petition filed by Sampath Manampeiri, who is currently sought by authorities for arrest in relation to the case.
