Police seek public assistance to arrest suspect who kidnapped a 9-year-old

 

The Eppawala Police are currently on the lookout for a male suspect over the kidnapping of a nine-year-old child in Kiralogama, Getadiwula in the North Central Province.

Accordingly, a 45-year-old male, employed as an electrician in the area is the main suspect in the kidnapping of nine-year-old. The child, although reported missing at around 08:30 p.m. on Monday night (19 Dec), is believed to be in the custody of the suspect based on information received by the Police.

The suspect had reportedly stayed over at his brother’s house in Naula, and left early last morning (20 Dec) with the child. She added that he often visited their house, and even took the child to school and other tuition classes and that they never suspected him as he had said his wife and children had died in a bomb attack.
