The hostage drama at the Vavuniya prison has ended as the Vavuniya SSP had negotiated a settlement with the eleven inmates who locked up 84 fellow inmates demanding the authorities to transfer their leader ‘Sashi’ from the Anuradhapura prison.

Highly placed prison sources said that the SSP had visited the inmates but they were not aware of the settlement. However no move had been made yet to transfer ‘Sashi’ to Vavuniya. (SD & RM)
