Defence questions proof of death and abduction Silva told the court that the prosecution had not produced evidence to establish that Eknaligoda was dead, pointing out that his body had never been recovered. He argued that the allegation of murder rested on an assumption of death and that there was no direct evidence showing that the accused had abducted or killed the journalist.
