Six individuals have been arrested in connection with the recent shooting and killing of a youth at Pulleyar Junction in the Siripura area, according to police reports.
The murder, carried out by two unidentified gunmen on a motorcycle, was reportedly directed by the notorious underworld figure Gunasiri Priyantha, also known as “Pathala Priyantha,” who is currently in Dubai.
However, investigations have revealed that the victim was not the intended target. The suspects, aged between 20 and 47, are residents of Weli Oya, Padaviya, Kebithigollewa, and Parakramapura, and are accused of aiding and abetting in the murder.
