Former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon has surrendered to the Matara Magistrate’s Court earlier today, following a court order for his arrest in connection with the shooting incident at the W15 Hotel in Weligama on February 27.
Despite the court’s directive for his arrest, the police had been unable to apprehend Mr. Tennakoon until now. The Matara Magistrate’s Court had previously ordered the arrest and production of a group of suspects, including Tennakoon, in relation to the shooting incident. The investigation continues.
