The underworld figure known as 'SF Lokka', the main suspect in the murder case of nightclub owner Wasantha de Zoysa in Anuradhapura, has been granted bail by the Anuradhapura High Court, today.
He was in remand for more than a year over the incident.
'SF Lokka' whose real name is Eron Ranasinghe is an army deserter who engaged in criminal activities in the Anuradhapura area.
He was arrested in Chillaw, last year, while traveling in a vehicle.
The underworld figure created another controversy when he released a video on Facebook explaining reasons for the murder of the night club owner.
He said the nightclub owner was "destroying" values in the area, by operating a night club.
