A suspect who was charged with assaulting and murdering his wife in Talawakelle has been arrested by police in Embilipitiya yesterday after 14 years.
Investigations revealed that the woman was beaten to death with a club in 2007.
Thereafter authorities continued to investigate the murder, after the Nuwara Eliya Magistrate’s Court issued an order directing the Police Organized Crime Investigation Division to probe the homicide in 2009.
The suspect was arrested by Police yesterday based on information that the 74 years old husband was residing in Embilipitiya.
