A suspect who was arrested after being wanted for eight robberies in the Kottawa area reportedly committed suicide while being in police custody, police spokesman SP Preshantha Jayakody told Daily Mirror online.

He added that the suspect was arrested yesterday by the police after being wanted for eight robberies that occurred in the Kottawa area. The suspect had earlier served an eight year prison sentence for ten robberies he committed.
