his barber shop as an assistant. They both traveled
together to the barber shop every morning and returned
home in the evening. On 16th January 2006 the pair was
returning home at 8.00 pm as usual. When they were
traveling through Kiras road towards their home in
Thachchanthoppu they were shot dead at close range. Eye
witnesses say that the gunmen came in a three-wheeler.
It is also worth noting that a Sri Lankan Army (SLA)
security post is located only 200 metres from the
