“I thought that she will fell in love with someone else soon. It is with this thought that the young man had slit his girlfriend’s throat.

He had decided to kill her so that no one else could own her. It has been found from the police investigations that he was prepared for it in advance. That is why he kept a small knife in his bag. The police have now revealed that he had bought it from a shop in Wellampitiya.The police also said that his answers show that he had the intention of killing his girlfriend.

He returned to Kohilawatta and jumped into the Kelani river, leaving the bag and his wallet there. Since he knew how to swim, he swam back to shore without drowning. At the same time, the police came and arrested him.

“When we went to his house, there was no one in the house and his neighbour K.S.Weerasinghe said that he lives in the village as a very innocent person. It is unimaginable to say that he did something like this.
This young man lived an innocent life in the village.We don’t know if he is at home or not. Staying at home, that’s what her two sisters do. His parents are going to work.
“An innocent family that does not bother anyone. This students had tried to commit suicide three years agoas he did not get the campus he had hoped for. After dropping her sister to school,he came home and hanged himself behind the house. At that time, we were the ones who saw it and quickly took him to the hospital and saved his life, the neighbour said.
“He was in the intensive care unit for four to five days. Somehow, his life was saved. But after that day, this boy changed a bit. As far as we know, he takes medicine for a mental illness. Anyway he is not social,” he said.
