The Colombo High Court today (14) sentenced to death a person who was found guilty for the possession and distribution of heroin. 

The person was arrested in the Kalubowila area on October 04, 2008 by the Police Narcotics Bureau (PNB) with 14.6 grams of heroin. 

Accordingly the PNB filed indictments against the accused at the Colombo HC.

Delivering the verdict in the case filed against him by the PNB, High Court Judge Gihan Kulathunge sentenced the accused to death, as the chargers against him were proven beyond reasonable doubt.
