Four sentenced to death for 2013 murder in Colombo

Date:

July 31, Colombo (LNW): The Colombo High Court has sentenced four individuals to death for the 2013 murder of a man, attacked with clubs and stones.

High Court Judge Aditya Patabandige delivered the sentence on Tuesday (30), targeting the accused from Orugodawatta.

Originally, six defendants faced charges, but the second defendant died during the trial, and the sixth was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.

In 2017, the Attorney General indicted the accused on four counts.

The judge ruled that the prosecution proved their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
