Death of Madampe youth .... a suicide!  Disappointed over break of affair with girl

It has now been disclosed that the decomposed corpse of the youth who was serving at an Engineering firm found hanging in a forest in Madampe area sometime ago was, the final result of a love affair.

The girl with whom this 25 year old C.P. Chathura
Viduranga Siriwardena had an affair had deserted him and had started another romance with a boy and in order to hurt his feelings she had been moving about in his presence holding hands with the new lover, it is reported. The youth who mentally suffered as a result of this had met them and asked them why they were doing this; but in response they had taken him for a joke even after he asked them not to do so and had even gone as far as chasing him away, hurting him further.

Though the victim's parents had known that there had been a love affair between these two, they had not known anything beyond that. In the meantime,Viduranga was suddenly found missing from home last month and though the householders searched for him they were unable to find any information about the youth. Later, though the householders complained about this to the police, they got no information. The parents then informed the lover mentioned above with the intention of securing some information; but she too had said that she was unable to say anything about what had happened to him.

When some days elapsed when a group of officers of the Wild Life Conservation Department were engaged in duties in the forest had found the bag containing Viduranga's National Identity Card in Panirendawa area in Madampe and had later informed the police; after which when inquiring about this with the householders concerned, his dead body hanging from a tree mysteriously was found.

The deceased's householders just could not believe that they would confront their son in this manner after he had disappeared for 25 days. After this news was conveyed to the police, his fiance was summoned to record a statement after which it was understood that Viduranga's former fiance was hospitalised for having taken poison; but it was learned that she was now convalescing after she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit.

This young man C.P. Chathura Viduranga Siriwardena living in Pookkulama area in Madampe was a youth who had followed a curse in Engineering and was serving at a private establishment.

Further investigations are underway.
