A youth has been shot dead today at the Athurugiriya Millennium City Housing Complex, police said.

The victim has been identified as Gangodawilage Namal Krishantha Perera (23 years).

The mother of the victim Jayaweerage Siriyawathi at No 6, Shanthalokagama in Oruwala Athurugiriya new housing complex said her son was requested by two of his friends at about 11 am to come immediately to get his father released on bail from the Court.

Later, she had gone to the hospital after hearing that her son had shot himself and hospitalised. Seemingly he had no reason to commit suicide she said.

Police have also found a 9mm pistol dropped near the refrigerator at the kitchen of the house where the incident had occurred.

 The victim had been shot at on two places in his body.

The suspects had said they found their friend fallen on the ground with gunshot injuries.

    The new govt. should look into banning firearms in Sri Lanka with the exception of Defence Forces and Police.

    One can not blame the government for certain things that happens in the country. I have seen before, people complaining during the last government for the heavy rain and the mud slides. We got to be fair, not act like some of the new ministers who blame every thing on missing files.
