Last night (18), inside his shop on Saranankara Road, under the jurisdiction of Kohuwala Police, a 43-year-old man was shot and killed.
Two unknown attackers reportedly rode up on a motorcycle, shot the store owner, and took off running, according to police accounts. After being taken by ambulance to Kalubowila Hospital, the victim—a resident of Nadimala, Dehiwala—passed away from his wounds.
At this point, no suspects have been named, and authorities are still looking into the shooting’s motivation. The investigation into the incident is still ongoing by the Kohuwala Police.
