Four arrested over murder of businessman in Mattakkuliya

 

The Colombo Crimes Division has arrested four persons in connection to the recent murder of a suspect who was previously arrested and released over the Easter Sunday attacks in 2019.

Accordingly, four suspects, aged between 25 and 34 and identified as residents of Borella and Wellampitiya, were arrested for the murder of businessman Mohammed Badurdeen Mohammad Farhan.

Farhan was murdered in Mattakkuliya on 28 November, when three individuals had followed his car home upon his return from another court case and caused an accident, after which they got out of the vehicle and fatally hacked him to death.
