The Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) has arrested two more suspects in connection with the assassination of Sanjeewa Kumara Samararatne, also known as Ganemulla Sanjeewa.

The suspects were apprehended yesterday (28) in Minuwangoda on suspicion of aiding and abetting the crime.

Udara Nirmal Gunaratne, a 28-year-old resident of Medagowwa, Minuwangoda, was arrested for allegedly providing the SIM cards used to facilitate the crime. Nalin Dushyantha, a 31-year-old resident of Minuwangoda Road, Dunagaha, was also taken into custody on similar charges.

On 19 February, Ganemulla Sanjeewa, an organised criminal, was shot dead inside the dock of Courtroom No. 05 at the Aluthkade Magistrate’s Court while a case was being heard.

With these latest arrests, the total number of suspects apprehended in connection with the murder has risen to twelve.
