Sri Lanka middle order batsman Russel Arnold's brother-in-law, Stephen Shanmugam was killed in a train accident in Colombo on Saturday.
Shanmugam had been walking along the rail track close to the Marine Drive in the Wellawatte area at about 7. 45 am when the mishap took place.
The post mortem into the death of Shanmugam took place on Saturday and further inquiries were postponed for April 10. Chief Inspector Mangala Dehideniya told AFP that several such accidents had taken place at the location as the sound of the trains were drowned by sea.
With Sri Lanka scheduled to play their next World Cup game in Grenada on Thursday, Arnold is unlikely to come home for the funeral.
