Eight suspects including math tutor Dinesh Nuwan Amaratunga, who surrendered to court over the alleged attack on a van at Kalagedihena, were remanded till July 29 by the Attanagalle Magistrate yesterday. 

Police said the 38-year-old math tutor who owned the Prado jeep, Udam Indula Sampath Bandara Amaratunga (38), Chamara Dilum Kumara (45) and H. Sanath Akalanka (24) surrendered to court yesterday. Police said they were all residents in Ingiriya. 


Earlier, four suspects were arrested over the incident after they surrendered to the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD).
