Did Ambalantota girl commit suicide .... or was murdered?
Ambalantota police have been able to discover a dead body of a young woman early this morning (29) hanging from a banyan tree close to Wewa 26 in Randiyagama area, Mayurapura, Ambalantota.

The deceased is 19 year old Sanduni Nisansala, a young married girl. About a month ago she had got married to a young man in Baragama area in Ambalantota and had


gone into occupation there. Mr. Kasun, husband of the deceased girl said that on the night of the 26th of this month, the two of them had been involved in an argument after which she had left the husband's house and had tried to go to hr mother's house.

Subsequently he had taken steps to drop his wife at her mother's house when he found that his wife was not to be seen in the house and he had informed his wife's mother about this. As there was no sign of her in the house, he had lodged a complaint with Ambalantota police at about 11 on the night of the 26th regarding this. The mother of the deceased said that there were 3 sisters and 3 brothers in the family of the deceased and that she was the third child in the family.

The mother of the deceased further said that when she had come to drop the younger sister of the deceased to the bus halt to go to school this morning (29) she had seen her daughter who was missing for 2 days, hanging from a banyan tree near the wewa and because of her shouts people in the area had gathered near the scene.

Subsequently Ambalantota police were informed  about this by the neighbourhood. Mrs. Mallika, mother of the deceased girl said that her daughter had no problem big enough to hang herself and her death was a case of suspicion.

However, it has still not been confirmed as to whether the death is a case of suicide or else murder. A Magisterial post mortem is expected to be carried out today (29).

Ambalantota police are conducting further inquiries on this incident.
