Nausori Highlands murder case adjourned

Justice Thushara Rajasinghe has advised the prosecution to file more detailed submissions in the case of Mohammed Raheesh Isoof, who is charged with the alleged murder of five people and attempted murder of an 11-month-old child at the Nausori Highlands.

Isoof allegedly murdered a carpenter Nirmal Kumar, his 54-year-old wife Usha Devi, their daughter Nileshni Kajal, her two daughters Sana, 11, and Samara, 8, and allegedly attempted to murder Samaira Kumar between August 25 and 26, 2019.

Justice Rajasinghe told prosecutor Semi Babitu that the agreed facts prepared for the case were too brief and advised him to provide a more detailed submission.

Justice Rajasinghe adjourned the case to October 14 for the substantive matter to be heard before the court.
