A young Sri Lankan woman, who tried to mediate in a dispute involving her mother and a neighbour, died after being stabbed with a knife while the mother has been admitted in a hospital with serious wounds.

Sri Lanka’s ‘Mawbima’ reported that the 24-year-old victim was a mother of three children and a resident of Bibiladeniya in Dummalasuriya police area.

According to the neighbours, the victim’s mother was having an affair with the suspect and the police had settled disputes between the two on many occasions previously.

On the day of the incident, Dummalasuriya police settled the dispute between the two in the morning but they started arguing again later in the day. The victim tried to mediate but the suspect, who had a knife in his possession, attacked both of them and fled from the scene.

Police said the victim, who has a daughter and two sons, was abandoned by her husband.

Dummalasuriya police is conducting an investigation and hunting for the suspect.
