A 54-year-old man has been arrested on charges of murdering his own son and hiding the body inside a toilet pit in the Guywatta area in Balangoda.
The 25-year-old youth was reportedly clubbed to death on November 27.
However, the victim’s body was only discovered yesterday (19) following a search carried out by Balangoda police according to a complaint lodged by the suspect’s wife the previous day.
Preliminary inquiries have revealed that an argument between the suspect and the victims had escalated and led to the murder while afterwards he had hidden the body inside a toilet pit in their home.
