Suspect remanded for providing false information in “Ganemulla Sanjeewa” murder case

Date:

March 10, Colombo (LNW): A suspect arrested for allegedly misleading police and providing false information in relation to the Ganemulla Sanjeewa murder case has been remanded until March 24 by Colombo Additional Magistrate Harshana Kekunawela.

Lahiru Sampath Samaranda, a resident of Belideniya, Dikwella, was taken into custody by officers from the Colombo Crimes Division (CCD).

The CCD informed the court that Samaranda had misled the authorities by falsely claiming that Ishara Sewwandi, a key suspect in the murder case who remains at large, was hiding in a particular location in Dikwella.

This led the police on a wild goose chase, but further investigation revealed that the information provided by the suspect was completely fabricated.

As a result, Samaranda faces charges for his actions, which have hindered the ongoing investigation.

The court remanded him pending further proceedings, and authorities are continuing their efforts to track down Sewwandi, who remains on the run.
