He had shot himself under a tree behind his home at around 8.30 pm yesterday.

He succumbed to injuries after he was rushed to the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital by his family members.

A letter was written by the boy stating that no one was responsible for his death.

He had mentioned however the numerous troubles his family had to undergo owing to his mischief and misdemeanors.

“There is no connection between my suicide and (the) girl,’ he had written in a note. “I am quite pressurized and I know I would not get good results at the O/L examination.”

“Although my friends did many wrong deeds I tried to move away from such conducts. I committed many wrongdoings due my unawareness.  I have already broken my parents trust twice,” the boy had written in his letter.
