Three more suspects were arrested by the Terrorist Investigation Division (TID) in connection with the recent violence in Kandy.

Police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara said the suspects were arrested on charges of unruly behavior and attack on religious places of worship at Welekade in Ambatenna and Poojapitiya on March 7.

The suspects aged 21, 22 and 55 are residents of Kahawatta in Ambatenna and taken into custody on Saturday from their homes and handed over to the Poojapitiya Police for further investigations.

Last month, the TID arrested two Army Corporals in connection with the same incidents while

    Good move , please keep them inside, However the damage has already done by this so called saviours of the main race and the unfortunate tax payer has to fork out the money which run in to Billions as compensation for the victims.

    while commending the arrest. this really shows how dirty is sri lanka's politics. no one will be charged ultimately. These games will be played until everyone forgets. There is no true development in countries which is plagued by hatred, gullible voters, scavenging politics. Its our fate!!!

    This is why we need a hybrid courts or an independant judicial system with whole lot of foreign judges to punish these thugs, as said befor AMITH WEERASINGHE is GOTAS man and will go scot free....

    What happened to the ones already arrested. We here nothing. Punish them severely so that they will feel the pain of the innocent victims.
