The death toll from Sri Lanka's worst prison riot in nearly three decades has risen to 27, with 43 people wounded. Sri Lanka's Police Minister, Chandrasiri Gajadeera, told parliament 11 bodies had been found in search operations on Saturday and a further 16 were being kept in hospital. Heavily armed troops moved into the maximum security Welikada prison overnight on Friday to restore order after hours of gun battle between inmates and police commandos, military officials said on Saturday.
