Four arrested over killing of 'Kos Malli's' brother-in-law
· Sri Lanka
Four individuals have been taken into custody by law enforcement in connection with the murder of Damith Prasad Fonseka, known by the alias 'Bhootha Kaluwa' [1.1]. The victim was identified by police as the brother-in-law of notorious organized crime figure 'Kos Malli'.
The arrests followed coordinated operations conducted by specialized police teams, who tracked down the suspects across several hideouts based on intelligence reports and surveillance footage gathered near the scene of the crime.
Investigators are interrogating the suspects to determine the identities of the mastermind and shooters behind the hit. Initial findings suggest the killing stems from retaliatory clashes and illicit territorial disputes between rival criminal groups.
