Sri Lanka Police have sought public assistance to locate three Chinese nationals wanted in connection with the kidnapping and murder of a Chinese national following an incident at Colombo Port City.
According to Police, three Chinese nationals staying at Colombo Port City were assaulted on July 23, 2026, and one of them was subsequently abducted and killed. The Colombo District Crime Division is investigating the incident.
Two Chinese nationals suspected of involvement in the crime have already been arrested and remanded, while investigations are underway to apprehend three other suspects.
Police identified the wanted suspects as Chen Hongbing, Lu Gao and Xiang Huacheng.
Investigations have revealed that the three suspects entered Sri Lanka on tourist visas and are believed to remain in the country despite their visas having expired.
Police said there is also a possibility that the suspects could attempt to leave Sri Lanka illegally by air or sea and have therefore sought public assistance to apprehend them.
Anyone with information on the suspects has been requested to contact the Officer-in-Charge of the Colombo District Crime Division on 071-8591735. (Newswire)
