Sunday, 16 February 2014 

Police have found a letter from a pocket of Inspector Milton Samarakoon Bandara, the OIC of western province intelligence unit (Mt. Lavinia), whose dead body was found in a paddy-field behind the Godagama filling station in Homagama.

The letter has purportedly been written by his wife.

At a media briefing in Colombo today (16), police spokesman SSP Ajith Rohana said the IP, a father of two, had committed suicide over a family matter.

Born in Gampola, Mr. Bandara had joined police in 1989 and became a member of its intelligence unit in 2005.

At the time of his death, was a resident of Jayamangala Mawatha in Nugegoda.
