Colombo, Sep 20 (Daily Mirror) - A 45-year-old man was shot and killed this morning near the Nedimala Cricket Ground in Dehiwala by two unidentified men on a motorcycle.

Police said that the victim, a resident of the Saranankara area, was attacked while riding his motorcycle. He was subsequently admitted to the Colombo South Teaching Hospital but died while receiving treatment.

Police suspect that this shooting may be connected to previous incidents in Dehiwala on September 15 and a Kohuwala shooting incident on Wednesday, which resulted in two fatalities.

Meanwhile, Police have ruled out any links to election-related incidents.

In some (middle eastern?) countries the government has specified certain types of IP cameras (not CCTV) to be mandatory installed on all main roads facing shops. The back end of those cameras are also linked to the police department via technology (aggregations). Within seconds of an incident the escape vehicles can be traced. It will discourage day light murders.

A portion of the black money brought in by the Port City investors will be allocated for this.
