VIDEO: Hospital director surrenders over hit-and-run death of pregnant woman
May 9, 2014The motorist who is suspected of knocking down a pregnant woman in Pettah last month and fleeing the country has surrendered to police this morning.
A pregnant woman was killed on April 27 following a hit-and-run accident in Gunasinghepura, Pettah.
Lilan Piyaratne, the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident, had reportedly fled to the U.S. through Singapore following the incident.
However, he had returned to Sri Lanka yesterday (08) and surrendered to the Pettah Police Station this morning.
The suspect, a director of a private hospital in Colombo, is to be produced before the Aluthkade Court today, police said.
The Police Spokesman’s Office said that a request seeking Interpol red notice for the arrest of the suspect will be cancelled.
