A 33-year-old man was stabbed to death by four people at Jampettah Street in Kotahena a short while ago, police said. They said the assailants had arrived in a three-wheeler.

Police Spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara said the victim was released on bail a month ago in connection with a case against him. He said the man had been charged with murder, robbery and the possession of a hand grenade.

“We have identified the assailants. Investigations have revealed that the victim had killed a brother of one of the assailants,” the ASP said. (DS)
