The suspect was taken into custody at Bandaranaike International Airport in Katunayake during the early morning hours of October 27, according to CID officials. A magistrate has ordered her remanded in police custody until November 4 pending further investigation.
Achini stands accused in connection with the murders of Aruna Widanagamage, also known as 'Kajja', and his two children. The case has drawn significant attention as authorities work to establish the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
The CID has been leading the investigation into the matter. The extended remand period will allow investigators additional time to gather evidence and pursue leads in the case. No further details regarding potential charges or the nature of the allegations have been disclosed at this stage.
The suspect is expected to be produced before court again on November 4, when the remand period expires and the investigation status will be reassessed.
