Pistol brandishing wife, Councillor husband further remanded

Southern Provincial Councillor M. K. Kasun and his wife were ordered to be further remanded until March 27 by Kaduwela Magistrate Prasanna Alwis, yesterday.

The husband and wife duo were arrested in connection with the assault of a bus driver at the Koswatte junction in Thalangama last week.

The Magistrate ordered the suspects to be further remanded as only the High Court can grant them bail for the offence committed.

Thalangama Police had filed charges against the two suspects under the Firearms Ordinance.

The incident was captured on camera by a person in a bus at the Thalangama-Koswatte junction.

The video shows Kasun attacking the bus driver with his wife who is seen brandishing a pistol.
