A Public Health Inspector (PHI) attached to the Thambalagamuwa area was clubbed to death this morning when he went to inspect a house

The PHI identified as Mohomed Faleel was in charge of the Siraj Nagar Grama Seva Division and had visited a house in order to inspect it.

The suspect who is said to be mentally unsound had opened the gate for the PHI when he was requested to do so and then attacked the PHI with a large pestle.

The Thamabalagamuwa Police are conducting investigations into the incident. (Amadoru Amarajeewa)

people of unsound mind should be put in right places and not regular households. They are a risk not just to the families with lil kids involved but society at large... Necessary laws need to be brought in to rope em and treat em...

My deepest Sympathies goes to his family.... May Allah grant him Jannat. By the way no point talking politics over a dead body. Hey commentators be civilized before you'll comment.

The "OFFICIALS" go around blamming the residents, but all the mosquitos are breeding in the Road side Drains and areas. we still dont know why this person was beaten to death.

A case of a human being being more dangerous than a Dengue Mosquito!
