Two men who arrived on a motorcycle had blocked a bus travelling from Ambalantota to Koggalla and fired shots at a woman who was inside the bus yesterday evening (7).
The Ambalantota Police said a 48-year-old mother of three named Lasantha Rohini, a resident of Koggalla, was injured in the shooting.
She was returning home with 17-year-old daughter who had attended a tuition class.
The woman was shot in the right shoulder area and after being admitted to the Beragama Regional Hospital, she was transferred to the Hambantota General Hospital for further treatment.
She is the mother of one of the main suspects in a murder that took place in Koggalla on July 18 over an incident of cattle theft.
The DIG in charge of Hambantota and Matara, Mahesh Senaratne, said that the son-in-law of the man who was killed on July 18 has been identified as one of the suspects who carried out the shooting yesterday.
The murder victim was identified as Amarakoon Kankanamge Siripala (62), a father of two.
Police had made an arrest within a few hours over his murder.
Investigations revealed that the shooters did not come to kill this man, but to kill his son-in-law.
