SRI LANKA: Kananke police had apprehended a young woman on Tuesday for throwing acid on a mother and her daughter, while they were walking along a road in the Kananke Imaduwa area, ‘Divaina’ reported.
 
Mother, Dayawathi, had succumbed to her injuries and the daughter, Chamila with severe injuries, has been admitted to the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital for treatment.
 
It was reported that the young woman had gone through an inappropriate love affair with the victim’s daughter, which had led to the incident as the mother had objected to it.
 
The woman was arrested after she surrendered to the police. She confessed her crime and the reason behind the incident.
 
Two persons, including the suspect, travelling on a motorcycle had attacked the mother and her daughter on as they were walking and the suspect had told the police that she did it with the consent of the daughter Chamila.
 
Both the suspect and Chamila had served the Sri Lanka Army Women Corp and later in a garment factory.
 
Matara police are hunting to arrest the suspect’s brother and continuing further investigations.
