The Chairman of the Matara Pradeshiya Sabha Wimal Priyajanaka, his son, and another person who surrendered to the Matara Police Headquarters while being arrested on suspicion of setting a house on fire have been released on two sureties of Rs. 1 million each after being produced before the Matara Magistrate’s Court today.
They had set fire to a house in Kekanadurra, Matara. That was on the 14th of March.
A senior police officer said a dispute over the chairman’s daughter has led to the arson and the fire had started when the police were looking to arrest a youth living in the house.
