Kundasale Police Training College OIC arrested for aiding suspect in physiotherapist death case

The officer-in-charge of the Kundasale Police Training College, who previously served as the Menikhinna police station head, remains in custody following allegations that he provided shelter and assistance to the primary suspect in the mysterious death of a physiotherapist in Theldeniya, Kandy. Police confirm that this arrest resulted from a confession made by the primary suspect, who admitted receiving help to evade capture.
