Recently, the police have arrested a Theronamak, who worked at the Seeduwa Raddalowa Sri Nandarama temple, on suspicion of the mysterious disappearance of the head of the temple.
The same person was arrested while trying to leave Katunayake Airport for Dubai this morning (15).
The mysteriously murdered body of Mahanama Thero, the head of the temple, was found following a report to the police about a foul smell coming from the direction of the temple.
He was 55 years old when he passed away.
Even when the body of Viharadhipati Thero was found, the same person who lived in the same Vihara, who had been arrested, had disappeared.
Seeduwa Police are conducting further investigations into the incident.
