A revolver was discovered today (05) during the cleaning of a drainage canal at Welikada Prison.
According to prison officials, the 0.38 (special) caliber revolver was found while removing soil from a drain located behind the “L Ward” of the prison, where wastewater flows out.
Following a notification to the Borella Police, officers arrived at the scene and launched an investigation.
Initial findings suggest that the revolver had been buried for several years and is no longer in usable condition. Both prison authorities and police have begun separate investigations to determine how the weapon ended up at the location.
