Police granted a 72-hour detention order for Gampaha Osman

Osman Gunasekera, also known as Gampaha Osman, 69, will be detained and questioned for seventy-two hours after the Colombo District Crime Division received permission for the request. Police arrested the suspect in Gampaha on charges of aiding and abetting the murder of Ganemulla Sanjeewa. It appears the authorities finally caught up with the elderly gentleman; one wonders what riveting tales he might share during his three-day stay with the constabulary.
