Description
Sri Lanka's fugitive police chief, Deshabandu Tennakoon, surrenders to authorities and is remanded in custody, weeks after his arrest was ordered over a botched raid that killed a fellow officer. Tennakoon stands accused of authorising an ill-fated drug bust in 2023, allegedly against internal regulations, that sparked a gun battle between competing police units. A magistrate in the southern town of Matara ordered he be held in custody until Thursday, when his bail application will be considered. IMAGES
