A man was shot and killed at Ba­hadoor Street in Cou­va, last evening.

Po­lice say it is the first mur­der record­ed in the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion for 2020.

Ac­cord­ing to re­ports, at ap­prox­i­mate­ly 6:30 pm, the man—iden­ti­fied as re­nal­do chi­napoo—was shot once.

He lat­er died.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions in­to this mur­der are on­go­ing.

And we will up­date this sto­ry as de­tails come to hand.
