Investigators suspect that Ishara Sewwandi, one of the main suspects in the audacious killing of underworld gang leader Ganemulle Sanjeewa as he stood in the dock of a magistrate court at Hulftsdorp recently, may have fled to India by a boat.

Authorities have searched nearly 200 locations where the suspect was reported to be hiding, but have so far been unable to find any trace of her.

The police state that tracking Ishara Sewwandi has been difficult since she has stopped using her mobile phone, making it impossible to gather any leads on her whereabouts.

Two days after the killing of Ganemulle Sanjeewa, Ishara Sewwandi reportedly traveled to the Kalutara area, where she purchased gold jewelry worth approximately Rs. 500,000 from a jewelry store. 

However, no significant information about her movements has been obtained since then. Gold and especially gold jewellery is much in demand in India.

Police now strongly suspect that the suspect may have escaped the country by boat via the southern coastal region.
