A special CID team has been deployed to arrest Tangalle Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman Sampath Chandra Gupta Vidya Pathirana, police spokesman SSP Ajith Rohana said.

The Colombo High Court last Thursday issued an arrest warrant against him for not appearing in courts for the trial into the alleged murder of British tourist Khuram Shaikh and harassment of the victim’s Russian girl friend at a Tangalle holiday resort in December 2011.
