Investigations launched into female body found in travelling bag in Sapugaskanda (Video)

The police have launched a special investigation into the body of a woman found in a travelling bag on the road near the Sapugaskanda oil refinery.

It is reported that investigations have been initiated based on the complaints and information received by the police regarding the disappearances of women.

A woman has been reported missing from the Biyagama area in the past few days and an investigation has been launched in this regard.

So far, the identity of the woman found dead in the travelling bag could not be determined, as the body had been decomposed beyond recognition.

However, the postmortem examination of the body has also commenced.

The body of a woman between the ages of 30 and 40 was found in a travelling bag yesterday afternoon (04) by the police, following a tip off from the area that a stench was emanating from the area.

The police stated that the body found was with hands and legs tied.

The bag was wrapped in a green mat and left at the scene. Police now suspect that it was dumped in the garbage dump a few days ago.
