They said the incident had taken place on September 28 and the suspects were arrested by the officers of the Criminal Investigation Department.

The suspects are to be produced in the Fort Magistrate’s Court for an identification parade today.

The suspects were also accused for snatching a necklace from a woman, Police said.

“The mobile phone and the apartment key of the deceased person were found in possession of one of the suspects along with the knife used to stab the man, they said.

Why were the suspect's no in handcuffs? And why the shawls covering their faces?

C.K.Lanksputra - The Royal Park Murderer was pardoned by Sirisena and not by this government. I wonder what the financial cost was for that pardon of a heinous murderer.

How safe are we in our country, anymore. Even , suspects are released after a while after the authorities have , earlier, given the impression that concrete evidence is available. Even, graver, during the initial difficult time of the Covid crisis, there were thugs, many drug dealers and addicts, going round threatening and demanding ransom, from occupants of houses, even raiding the garden produce, down certain lanes that are virtually never patrolled by the police, before or during the crisis. Even calls for response to this issues go by default eventually, giving an impression that some in the police station are complicit in these crimes,and perhaps run by these criminals or local politicians.

Some politician will come and bail them out, If convicted the same politician will arrange president to pardon them. In S. L. Criminals have more rights than the victims.
