“My husband up to very recently, consumed liquor daily. But he gave up the habit totally. Then he started to take part in Buddhist activities. He used to observe ‘sil’ on every poya day. He was a total different person after he gave up drinking.
On the day of the incident he had gone on a raid at 7 pm and had returned to his office around 8.30 pm. After completing his work in the office he had returned to his quarters around 9.15 pm. He called the eldest daughter and told her look after the two younger daughters while he stroked her head. Suddenly he took his official pistol from his waist and shot himself in his chest. We could not believe our eyes. We were simply shocked and dumbfounded. The daughters started to scream loudly. On hearing the screams the Police officers came to the quartes and rushed him to the Elpitiya Base hospital. Before admission he had succumbed to the injuries caused to his heart area. This made me and my daughters left stranded.
Both of us never had conflicts. He was a very loving and caring husband to me and very caring and attached to the daughters. He used to go through their school lessons every day and helped in their studies. We loved him more than we loved our lives. This incident is like a dream to me. I just cannot understand why this happened.”
