Arm of the Law loses ear
In a curious turn of events, an alleged sex offender whom the police had tried to arrest had bitten off a police sergeant's ear and managed to flee the scene in Thirukkovil yesterday evening.
A team of officers from the Thirukkovil Police Station had gone to an abandoned house in Kanchanakuda following a tip off that a group of wanted persons who were evading courts were hiding there.
They had gone in search of three suspects (a woman and two of her sons), said Police Spokesman ASP Ruwan Gunasekara.
After the policemen arrested the woman and one son the woman's other son had obstructed the policemen and bitten off a sergeant’s ear and fled the scene.
The pain stricken officer was rushed to Thirukkovil Hospital with the severed part of his ear. His condition was not serious.
The pair who were apprehended had been evading court on charges related to rape. They were taken into custody.
A special team was deployed to apprehend the other suspect who is wanted for several sex offences.
The woman is accused of aiding and abetting her sons in various sex crimes, the ASP said. (Kurulu Kariyakarawana)
