No relative has come forward to accept the body of a man who was gunned down by an unidentified gunman in front of the Balapitiya courts complex on February 16.

Identified as Kanatte Arachchige Piyaratna alias ‘Piya’, he died on the spot.

Another, Anagipura Rasika Chaminda, succumbed to injuries at Colombo National Hospital a day later.

Piyaratna, a resident of Kantale, had been involved in the underworld since the 1990s, and had been at court to appear for a related case when he was shot dead.
