Police arrest four in Polte Mohan killing
Four suspects including two LTTE cadres involved in the murder of Army informant Plote Mohan have been arrested by the Colombo Crime Division (CCD) this week, head of the CCD, SSP D.S. Lugoda told The Sunday Times.

Three of them were arrested by two separate teams sent by the CCD to Batticaloa while the other was arrested in Colombo. Police had traced the suspects by tracking down the telephone numbers in a diary left in a lodge in Bambalapitiya by one of the LTTE cadres involved in the murder.

Plote Mohan who had provided information to the military for the past 14 years was gunned down at Bambalapitiya on July 31. The CCD investigations have revealed that the LTTE had hired a van from Batticaloa and deployed its own driver. On arrival in Colombo they had dropped the driver at a lodge in Maradana and deployed another driver. Both drivers and two LTTE cadres who had accompanied the assassins have been arrested.
