Five fishermen have been arrested in Kalutara for allegedly beating an 18-year old to death and later dumping his body into the sea.

It is reported that the boy had gone fishing along with a group of fishermen from Beruwala on October 15 and was tortured and beaten to death.
The body of the victim who has been identified as Tharaka Aravinda Silva, a resident of Bubuluwatte in Beruwala, was dumped into the sea on November 18 after the fishermen had concealed the body within a fishing net.
