Police have appealed to the public for assistance in locating a 38‑year‑old resident of Ragama who has been sentenced to death in connection with a 2019 murder case.
The Negombo High Court imposed the death penalty after the convict was found guilty of murdering a woman in the Walpola area of the Ragama Police Division.
The sentence was delivered in absentia under provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code, as the convict failed to appear before court.
Police have requested public support to trace him. Public with information have been requested to inform the Police via the following numbers:
- OIC, Ragama 2 — 0718591604
