The underworld figure arrested by the Special Task Force (STF) on Saturday (30) identified as Janith Hashan Wimalaweera alias ‘Konda Janiya’  in connection to the shooting at the restaurant in Moratuwa is also said to be the suspected killer of Ranjan Silva, father of National Cricketer Dhananjaya Silva.

Ranjan Silva (62), who was a Councillor of the Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia Municipal Council was killed on May 24, 2018, near his house on Gnanendra Road, Ratmalana. He was shot at by three unidentified individuals who opened fire on him with a weapon, later identified as a T65.

According to sources, he had been arrested and was currently out on bail when he recently was part of a group that shot and damaged a restaurant in the area. The owner of the restaurant has received death threats from a man claiming to be living in Dubai and his business had been attacked several times recently.
