August 18, Colombo (LNW): A man wanted by Sri Lankan authorities in connection with a number of serious criminal investigations has been brought back to the country from Oman and handed over for further questioning.
Kankanamage Dimuthu Chathuranga Perera, also known as ‘Summitpura Chathu’ and ‘Modara Chathu’, arrived at Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake early on Tuesday (18) after being detained in Muscat by officers attached to Sri Lanka’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
