LRH child’s death to be probed further

The Colombo Magistrate's Court has directed the Borella Police to conduct further investigations into the recent death of a three-year-old at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children (LRH) based on medical reports and evidence presented. 

 

 

The Colombo Additional Magistrate Rajindra Jayasuriya issued this order after considering information provided by the Police during the court session.

 

 

The Magistrate noted discrepancies between medical claims and evidence regarding the child's kidney positioning. The father of the deceased child also provided testimony during the session. 

 

 

The child's death occurred after a kidney surgery at LRH, where the doctor reportedly removed both kidneys due to a claimed rare condition. The doctor responsible for the surgery has allegedly left the country.
