Several police teams after child abductors [July 30 2014]

Several teams from Galgamuwa, Giribawa and Meegalewa Police Stations are conducting investigations to apprehend the four suspects who abducted a four-year-old boy on Monday night.

The motive behind the abduction remains unsolved as the suspects had not even demanded a ransom to release the abductee.

Four persons on two motorcycles with faces fully covered and armed with knives attacked the boys father, a rice mill owner in the area and caused injuries to his wife too. They had then fled with the boy Dimindu Yasen Ekanayake.

The police have recorded statements from eight persons including the childs parents.

Anybody who knows the whereabouts of the abducted child are requested to inform Senior DIG North Western Province Jagath Abeysirigunawardena on his mobile number 0718 137007 or SSP Nikaweratiya Division Chandana Alahakoon on 0774 784635.
