The witness in his evidence said that  during their tour of the Kolonnawa and Kotikawatte–Mulleriya Electorates  they were joined by another car near the Kalu Palama at Kotuwila after  which they drove towards Salmal Uyana via Galwana. On their return  journey from Salmal Uyana at Rubber Mill Junction in Mulleriyawa,  Prasanna Gunasingha  Solanga Arachchi of the Kotikawatte Mulleriyawa  Pradeshiya Sabha  called Premachandra over the phone  and told him that  his supporters were assaulted by Duminda Silva and his people at  Rajasinghe Vidyalaya in Kotikawatte.    Later Premachandra’s vehicle that was driven towards the Walpola  Junction was obstructed by Duminda’s convoy of vehicles. The witness  said there were around 100 people and that there were persons carrying  T56 assault rifles among them. One of them was a police officer attached  to the Mirihana Police who was in civvies. The witness said he could  identify him. He went on to say that Duminda and Premachandra had  alighted from their vehicles and had begun an argument but that he did  not see Premachandra carrying a side fire arm. The witness also said  that he saw Duminda and Premachandra exchanging slaps. At that time a  tall person in a beard carrying a T56 rifle assaulted Premachandra who  fell to the ground. It was then that Duminda Silva shot Premachandra.  Shouting, “Wedithiyapan, wedithiyapan.”DM</blockquote>
