The police today released sketches of two suspects wanted over the shooting inside the Mount Lavinia Court premises on August 4, seeking public assistance to arrest them.

Police said the sketches suspected to be of the gunman and another who was wanted over aiding to the shooting were drawn based on CCTV footage and information received from eye-witnesses.

They said the suspects had fled the scene in a car after the shooting and police also seek details of the car.

Police also released several CCTV footage of the incident.

They requested the public to inform the Mount Lavinia Division Crimes Unit through 011-2717516 or Mount Lavinia Police Station via 071-8591664 if they have any information on the suspects and the vehicle.

A gunman opened fire at another man while he was sitting in the accused dock inside the court. However, no one was injured in the shooting. (Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuriya)

We hold the record Sunday, 18 September 2022 05:12 PM

We are a very tiny nation, but we always come second to the mighty USA in committing homicide. But every time race riots against Tamils take place, we beat the mighty USA and take the first place. But the Easter Bomb blast broke all records. What a nation!!!!!

The gun men would know about CCTV. How can the sketch artist come up with these images of two men in masks? The CCTV photo image does not show any of the lower faces of the men. Seems like more pointless drama creation by our police.
