A tense situation has been reported following the funeral of the youth who was found shot dead in Kahawatte this week.
It is reported that a tense situation arose between the area residents and the Police after the crowd had arrived outside the residence of an individual in the area, accused of having allegedly orchestrated the murder.
The Police have fired tear gas to disperse the crowd and contain the situation.
The 22-year-old youth was shot dead, and a 27-year-old man was injured in the shooting reported in the Kahawatta area on Monday.
Police investigations revealed that four unidentified individuals had visited a house in the Koskaella area, claiming to be Police, and had abducted the two young men.
The Police said the victims had later been taken to a deserted location, where they were shot, during which one person succumbed to injuries at the scene. (Newswire)
