State Minister Ranaweeera said he was at home till about 9.00 pm and had left for his mother’s house in Malabe. He said he had been living in Malabe since his residence at Hunupitiya was destroyed by “Aragalaya” actvists.
“When the watcher informed me of the incident I rushed to the scene to find eight windows of the ground flood damaged with clubs and swords. I was able to watch the scene on the CCTV recordings. We had several problems involving my son when he was attending school. However, they were resolved and he is now studying in a foreign country," he said.
Sapugaskanda police are conducting further investigations. (Lal S.Kumara)
