The Police have recovered an internationally manufactured weapon that was used in a shooting incident in 2019 in which an individual was killed.
The Police said the suspect wanted in connection to the murder had fled to Dubai, but had been arrested by the Dubai authorities after an Interpol Red Notice was issued.
The suspect was brought to Sri Lanka by a team of Criminal Investigations Department (CID) officials on July 12 and investigations commenced after obtaining a 90-day detention order.
During an interrogation of the suspect, the Police were able to recover the weapon used in the shooting, which had been buried in an abandoned land adjacent to a house in Nugegoda on Monday.
The suspect is a 48-year-old resident of Nugegoda. The Police Homicide & Organized Crimes Division is conducting investigations. (Newswire)
