An abnormal family from Melsiripura where everyone of ages 30 - 33 keeps dying!

An abnormal family from Melsiripura where everyone of ages 30 - 33 keeps dying!

A somewhat queer piece of news is reported from Melsiripura, Panliyedda, Hewanathenna of a group of persons who aged between 30 to 33 keeps dying during that specific period.

For some special reason two generations of the same family keep dying when they reach 30 and 33 years of age and as a consequence the offspring born from them are thrown into a hopeless situation as a result and this phenomena which warrants

scientific attention.

This phenomenon was revealed recently when inquiries were made about the incident of 3 small children who were left isolated as a result of their father and mother dying from a sudden road accident sometime ago. 2 sisters have been living in this particular village and the two of them have had 3 children. Exactly when these 2 sisters were 32 and 33 years old, the two of them had passed away all of a sudden from an unidentified sickness at a time when their children were of a tender age. It is something of significance to note that husbands of the 2 sisters too had died at the ages of 32 and 33. Parents of the said family had passed away when 3 children had been of the ages of 10, 8 and 7. These 3 children of the two families were then brought up by a family who was their kith and kin. When these 3 children were adults, they had entered into marriage. They had in turn begotten 3 children each. and the son of 1 sister had just completed the 33rd year when he had died from a unanticipated road accident and his wife was thus left isolated with 3 children. The sister of the deceased person had left home with her husband to bring their children from school and had faced a road accident themselves and the two of them had died on the spot leaving their 3 small children alone in this world. In the same way their sister's daughter's husband too has died as a result of a sickness exactly on passing the age of 33 years, which is another incident worthy of notice in this series associated with this phenomenon. It is a queer twist of fate that this family too was left abandoned with 3 children. The house in which the isolated 3 children are living after the demise of their mother and father happened to go together on their last journey is in a state of decay. At the moment it is their relative 'kiriamma' who looks after them.

It was on the 13th of last month that the couple D.M. Dissanayaka (34) and H.A.S.A. Nilanika Gayani (32) had died of a sudden road accident. These 3 children, 10 year old Nilanka, 7 year old Devshi and 2 and a half year old Nethuli have thus been rendered helpless with the loss of their father and mother. The brother of deceased Nilanika Gayani who died of a road accident had lived in the wart and brittle hut which is in sight of the said house of these children. His family too had succumbed to the very same fate. Mr. Sanjeewa Prasanna Kumara (33) had died from a sudden road accident on the 4th of August in 2016. The 2 daughters Sathuni Chethana Lihini (14) and Mihindi Kumari (2 1/2) of his wife Damayanthi Aira Kumari (32) has thus been left in an utter state of helplessness.

The house where the daughter of their deceased 'loku amma' is living is only a short distance away from that house. Her husband Pushpakumara Dissanayaka had passed away from a sudden sickness on November 2nd, 2016 having completed his 32nd year. As a consequence of this incident, Roshini Pradeepika Ratnayaka (32), wife of Mr. Pushpakumara Dissanayaka has been left totally helpless with their small ones Maliga Devshini (10), Nethmal Shihiranga (7) and Nisala Dilraga (5). The 2 wives who are thus left behind are living with absolute mental pressure, being in their 32nd and 33rd years. An elder brother and a sister left in this family are now dedicated to to look after all of them, it was reported.
