FEMALE DEAD BODY FOUND INSIDE SUITCASE ....

IN PITAKOTUWA BUS QUEUE!

A suspicious bag caught the eyes of people around the area where Anuradhapura buses are

stopped at the terminus along Bastian Mawatha, Pettah this morning. On inquiring, the dead body of a female who had been killed in a mysterious manner was found inside the bag. While the police are carrying out investigations in this regard, special security has been posted at the location and a post mortem and fingerprints are being carried out.

Though the crowd initially thought that it was a bag that somebody had forgotten, later suspicion has arisen that it could even be a bomb. Subsequently when the bag was opened with the support of the security personnel, what took the onlookers by surprise was the sight of a dead body of a woman wrapped up with rags with the body folded in two and poked inside the bag. The identity of the dead body has still not been found. Further investigations are underway.
