The person who was hacked to death at Mattakkuliya on Monday had conducted Undial transactions to India and Dubai with drug smugglers for money laundering purposes, Police investigations have revealed.
The Colombo Crime Division (CCD) had arrested this person and his brother last year for conducting an Undial transaction with Rs.5 million of cash owned by notorious drug smuggler Panadura Kudu Salindu.
A court case in this regard was going on by the time of his death and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) was also conducting another investigation against him on the charges of money laundering, police sources said. He was hacked to death by a group of unidentified persons while he was on his way back home from the court on Monday. The CCD and the Mattakkuliya police are conducting investigations.
