More than three months after the brutal assassination of The Sunday Leader Editor- in-Chief Lasantha Wickrematunge, the police are yet to make a breakthrough The Sunday Leader learns. Although the police were asked to submit the full investigation report into the murder to the Mt. Lavinia court by April 16 the police have failed to produce the report.

Police Spokesperson SSP Ranjith Gunasekera when contacted told The Sunday Leader that although the court had ordered the investigation teams to submit the full investigation report it would take more time as the police are still investigating the telephone calls received moments before Wickrematunge's death. "The police cannot divulge these details to the media but certainly we are working hard to make a breakthrough," the SSP said. The murder trial has been further postponed to April 30.
