A man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing his father-in-law to death, following a heated argument, using a sharp object in the Lower Bogala area in Bulathkohupitiya.

The suspect’s wife had reportedly traveled to her parents’ residence due to a falling out between them, and an argument had later taken place there which led to the murder, police said.

The arrested suspect is to be produced before the Ruwanwella Magistrate’s Court today (15).
