An elderly man
working at the residence of the Wattala Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman, Rathna Alwis
was stabbed to death last evening (July 21) police stated.
The victim was the 75
year old Matara Arachchige Jayaman, a resident of Kerawalapitiya, who was
employed by the PS Chairman at his residence.
The PS Chairman had
left his residence last night along with his wife at around 9.30pm to attend a
function when Jayaman had gone to the house next door to ask for a cup of tea. The
neighbor claims that Jayaman was nowhere to be found when the tea was brought
for him.
The neighbor had then
seen a man inside the residence of the PS Chairman through a window that had
been left open and had immediately contacted him to inform him of the possible
break in.
The PS Chairman had
returned home and had found Jayaman with stab wounds in the bathroom, police
stated.
The Wattala police
have begun investigations into the murder.
