Mobitel Inner

The Colombo High Court today acquitted the three suspects accused in the 2012 murder of a mother and daughter in Kotakethana, Kahawatta.

 

Delivering its verdict on the high-profile case today, the court stated that the evidence against the three suspects was insufficient to tie them to the murders.

 

Namal Chaminda de Silva, Sisira Priyantha Kumara and Lokugam Hewage Ruchira are the three suspect in the case.

 

The Attorney General instituted legal action against the three accused over the murder of Liyanarachchige Premawathi (63) and her daughter Hewagamage Pushapakumari (33).

 

They were found murdered and burned in their house on June 17, 2012 at Kotakethana, Ratanpura.
