Three more suspects were arrested in Jaffna on Wednesday in connection with the assassination of Colombo district UNP MP T. Maheshwaran. Investigations are progressing smoothly.

Following the arrest of the alleged assassin undergoing medical treatment at the Colombo National Hospital, eight suspects were taken into custody on Tuesday from Wattala.

“Three more suspects have been arrested in Jaffna following information provided by the suspects arrested in Wattala”, Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told the Daily News.

Investigations are being carried out smoothly, police media spokesman DIG N.K.Ilangakoon said.

Colombo Criminal Division Director SSP Anura Senanayake said a CCD team are conducting investigations to ascertain the incident and trace the culprits.

“We have difficulty in recording evidence and statements from the main suspect as he is under medical treatment,” he said.

DIG Ilangakoon said no suspect was arrested in connection with the explosion opposite Hotel Nippon in Slave Island on Wednesday which killed four persons including two schoolchildren.
