A suspect who was convicted for the murder of a family of four at Eppawela in Anuradhapura was sentenced to death by the Anuradhapura High court.
It has been reported that the sentenced was passed by High Court judge Manjula Thilakaratne. The suspect was apprehended for stabbing a mother, father, son and daughter of the same family in 2010.
As there were no eye-witnesses, the verdict was arrived at following the submission of sufficient physical and forensic evidence to identify the defendant as the murderer.
Reportedly, the guilty individual was a 28 year old resident of Eppawela who was a relation of the diseased persons.
