Akmeemana 8 year old girl murder-suspect suicide -- Updates

Even mother refuses .... to accept body of Akmeemana killer!

As no one has come forward to claim the body of the murderer of the 8 year old girl living in Akmeemana Janabala hamlet by raping her, it is reported that the body of the suspect who died by jumping into water, was buried in the common burial ground in Dadella, Galle from government cost.

The murderer, Don Gamini Samaraweera (28) had lived in a house and it was said that he was suffering from some mental disorder with distorted sexual desires. It was 8 year old Poojani Asanthi living in a neighbouring house whom he had killed.

The police were able to trap him after the incident by following the police dog's scent and after the suspect was under police custody he had volunteered to go into a forest closeby and while on the way he had tried to flee, on which occasion he had fallen into Ma Oya and died, it was understood.

Subsequently though the courts ordered that the killer's dead body be handed over to his mother, what the mother had said on that occasion was that there is no money or a place to take the body. She had also said that it was not possible to conduct a funeral in the house where he lived because of the protest of neighbours.

As a result, the courts once again issued orders that the body of the killer be buried at the expenses of the government.

Under such orders his dead body was yesterday buried at Dadella Cemetery with only a few people in attendance.

The villagers had mentioned that nobody was affected over his death due to his silly action.
