A funeral has been held for a Sri Lankan man who was killed when police fired at protesters on Tuesday in Rambukkana.
Chaminda Lakshan, who was shot by police on Tuesday, became the first fatal victim of police violence in the current wave of protests across Sri Lanka in the wake of its crushing economic crisis.
Police and soldiers were sent to the town of Rambukkana to guard the funeral.
