Police have commenced investigations to arrest a suspect in connection with the shooting of an individual in Bandaraduwa, Ampara last night (6).
Police Media Unit said the 42-year-old victim had been bathing behind his house when the suspect had fired on him and fled.
The victim, a resident of Mayadunna, Weranketagoda, was killed on the spot. His body is currently lying at the scene of the crime pending a magisterial inquiry and post-mortem inquest.
Police said initial investigations have revealed that the motive for the murder had been a dispute over a paddy field.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said today that unilateral action by the UK and other countries in imposing sanctions on certain individuals do not assist but serve to complicate the national reconciliation process underway in Sri Lanka.
