Two suspects, who were detained at the Wolfendhal Police Station over a recent shooting in the area of Jinthupitiya, were admitted to the Colombo National Hospital today (7) after drinking a packet of milk given to them by a visitor.

Two suspects had lost consciousness after they consumed milk packets and it is suspected that the packet of milk contained a toxin, police said.

The police allege that milk packets were mixed with cyanide and given to the suspects to drink.

One of the suspects who fell ill is the suspect who shot and killed a person on January 24 in the Jinthupitiya area, and the other suspect acted as an informant.

Chamindu Darshan (27), a resident of Serunuwara who was identified as the shooter and other suspect Lakshitha Fernando (29), a resident of Colombo-13 are hospitalized in a critical condition.

Hope the visitor is located and remanded, unless he or she has given a false name. It appears the visitor has had the nerve to do this in a police station where the suspects were detained. Why may I ask were the suspects not under police guard during the visit?.
