The court has imposed a travel ban on a father-son duo suspected of involvement in the shooting death of Podujana Peramuna local government election candidate Dan Priyasad at a house in Wellampitiya last night.
Colombo Additional Magistrate Harshana Kakunawela issued this order after considering a request made by the police to impose a travel ban on Wellampitiya residents Bandula Biyal and his son Madhava Sudarshana.
Presenting the case to the court, the Wellampitiya police stated that evidence has emerged indicating a long-standing dispute between the attackers and Dan Priyasad.
Three people have also been arrested on suspicion of providing information to Dan Priyasad’s killers.
