Suicide while in police custody
Controversy surrounds a police claim that a suspect taken in for questioning late last week in connection with the robbery of a gold chain by the Koswatte police had taken his life by drinking poison.

The police said that the 55-year-old suspect had taken a bottle of poison and consumed it at his home in the Chilaw police area after the police had taken him there to recover a gold chain. The police said that the suspect had promised to hand over the chain snatched from a woman last Thursday at Kirimatiyana. (NP)
