Deteriorated corpse of 6 days in Bambalapitiya apartment ....

Deceased person entering house with bottle in hand, on CCTV

After the incident where the dead body of a drunkard was discovered after 5 months in skeleton

form in Rajagiriya recently, another similar case is reported from an apartment from Bambalapitiya.

The dead body of a person which was in a deteriorating state has been found from an apartment in Bambalapitiya, Colombo when the neighbours sensed a foul smell emanating from the room after about 6 days. The body has been in a deteriorating state and the person concerned has been living a solitary existence on the 6th floor of Paradise Apartments in Bambalapitiya, Colombo.

46 year old Rusdi Rajiv Nool had been living alone in that house. He is a Tamil national who had acquired Australian citizenship. The police were able to find his corpse day-before-yesterday night when the people living in front of his house had sensed a foul smell emanating from his house and were informed about it by them to his relatives and the police. When checking the CCTV footage of the apartment it was seen that he had entered the house with a bottle of liquor in his possession last 16th and thereafter there had been no news of him. The police assume that he had died about 6 days before. When the dead body was found it had been in a badly decomposed state, a high police officer mentioned.

A female relative of the deceased person living in Colombo 7 had said that he had been engaged in business activities with the Share Market and after obtaining Australian citizenship he had come to Sri Lanka.

The post mortem of the dead person was conducted last afternoon in the said house and the police are conducting further inquiries.
