Two schoolgirls die in railway accident in Dehiwala - Update 3

The friend of the two schoolgirls who had taken them in a vehicle to a party which move tragically ended up with the girls meeting with a train accident made a comment in the form of a note across the social media explaining about

this nasty accident.

According to his description it really was not a party of a girl of their school as such but a surprise party arranged by Imesha who was one of the victims of her boy friend. In fact Imesha and Sharon had both said a lie inviting him by saying that it was the party of one other friend with the purpose of getting the boy friend down and Imesha and Sharon had gone there with other friends too being invited. The two of them had been brought there by a friend of the boy friend by the name of Mevan who incidentally drove the vehicle. Describing the incident, Mevan had this to say:

"Imesha arranged a surprise birthday party on behalf of Shamika, her boy friend and he happens to be one of my college mates. Shamika had been asked to come there saying that it was a birthday party thrown for one of their friends called Jason. That was all. Shanika had not known that Imesha was going to come there and in the process I gave a lift to Imesha, Sharon and Shamika's younger brother by picking them up in Wellawatta, proceeding towards the restaurant. When we reached the place I on seeing Shamika coming, said 'let's avoid him'. But what they said was that Shamika is in any case aware that I was coming and that there was no problem in Shamika seeing me. They also said that whatever it is he does not know that we were going to come. So saying they said that they would get off the vehicle and proceed and asked me to come afterwards. With those words Imesha and Sharon got down from the car. What they tried to do was reach the place by going round to the place where the party was, all on the sly.

I went with the boy to park the car. At that moment my eyes fell on a train which was approaching. But I didn't know any of this. Subsequently I got off the car and started moving in the direction of the restaurant when I happened to notice about fifty persons surrounding near the railway track. I knew that somebody had got knocked down. I then asked those who were there, "Oh God is it two girls who have got knocked down?" But nobody uttered a word as such. I then shouted out once again and asked the same question when one person there replied, "Yes". I screamed with tears welling in my eyes. Shamika was walking on the other side of the road. I told Shamika to look about this scene. The way Shamika screamed I knew that it was the two of them that had got knocked down.

Even pieces of Imesha's body couldn't be found. Sharon of course had not faced that much of damage. I asked one of the people there, "I have a car ... shall we put both of them in the vehicle and take them to hospital?" Then one of the people there responded saying, "Malli ... both are finished ... there's no point!" I felt vomitish then and there but I controlled myself. Shamika vomitted on the spot. Actually it was something that can't be believed as having taken place. My father came and took me way from the scene there. I still can't fall asleep. I just can't understand what had happened there".
