Sri Lanka, Oct. 18 -- The Colombo Crimes Division (CCD) has arrested two individuals suspected of assisting Ishara Sewwandi, who is wanted in connection with the killing of underworld figure Sanjeewa Kumara Samararatne, alias Ganemulla Sanjeewa.

According to police, the arrests were made on October 16 and 17 in relation to the February 19, 2025, shooting incident at the Aluthkade Court Complex, where Ganemulla Sanjeewa was fatally shot.

The suspects - a 52-year-old woman and her 31-year-old brother-in-law from the Wellipenna area - are believed to have helped Sewwandi evade arrest. Both individuals have been detained under a detention order for further interrogation by the CCD.
