The LTTE’s Vanni faction on Monday night attacked a group of wounded Karuna loyalists, who were recuperating at a safe-house in the Wellawatte police area.
Police said that the killers befriended the Karuna loyalists before they mounted Monday’s attack. They claimed the life of one and wounded three, police said.
The wounded were rushed to the Kalubowila Hospital for emergency treatment, police said.
According to police they moved into a rented house at Roxy Gardens in Wellawatte recently after they were released from the National Hospital where they were admitted after being wounded in an attack by the Vanni faction. Two of their colleagues were killed in the confrontation at Nagastenne early this month.
