The Colombo Magistrate’s Court has ordered the remand of a 52-year-old woman from Matugama until October 24 for allegedly providing accommodation to Ishara Sewwandi, a key suspect in the murder of underworld figure Sanjeewa Kumara Samararatne, also known as ‘Ganemulla Sanjeewa.’
The suspect, who owns a house in Welipenna, Matugama, was arrested by the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) for reportedly sheltering Ishara Sewwandi while she was evading arrest.
Following her arrest, the woman was examined by the Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) before being produced before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court, Ada Derana reported.
Ishara Sewwandi, who was recently apprehended in Nepal and extradited to Sri Lanka, is accused of playing a key role in the killing of ‘Ganemulla Sanjeewa,’ a well-known underworld figure.
