Investigations have been concluded and measures would be taken to send extracts to the attorney General the Court was informed.
Despite police informed Court that statements have to be recorded from her, the Magistrate had asked what was the purpose of recording more statements if investigations have been concluded and extracts had been sent to the Attorney General.
The Magistrate has said the police should correctly state whether Daisy Forest was a witness of a person who had aided and abetted the crime and pointed out there is a suspicion that there is an attempt to conceal the real fraudsters connected with the incident.
When Yoshitha volunteered as one surety it was refused by the Court. Next hearing was put off until 19th May.
