Colombo, Oct. 29 (Daily Mirror) - The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has obtained a 72-hour detention order for a lawyer arrested in connection with the Ganemulla Sanjeewa murder, police said.

According to investigators, the lady lawyer allegedly provided a copy of the Penal Code to Ishara Sewwandi, who then used it to retrieve a hidden pistol used in the fatal shooting of Ganemulla Sanjeewa.

The lawyer was arrested last night (28) in the Kadawatha area.

At this rate we cannot give anything that we own even to a close friend as we do not know if that will be used in a crime. Sad situation

Unlikely you will be charged if you are genuine in giving it. Giving it knowingly is the criterion and inquiries will reveal if you were part of the conspiracy.

So you are trying to imply that Ishara is a good friend of the lawyer. Could be. Most of these lawyers come from ordinary families, a good example is Wanniya. After they become a lawyer they try to show as if they have appeared from the heaven. But within they are a total rot. Goo godak.
