Twenty-five people were killed and about 100 injured in clashes between two groups of prisoners at a prison in Sri Lanka on Monday. The clashes began on Sunday between convicted prisoners and those under detention at the prison in the coastal town of Negombo, about 35km north of Colombo.
The trigger for the clashes was not immediately known. Police sources said that areas within the prison were still being cleared, with officials working to account for the dead and the injured.
The military has been requested to provide support to the police, but at the moment they are on standby. Visuals from Derana TV showed heavy police deployment outside the gate of the prison as a police bus carrying the injured inmates left the premises.
