A youth who was taken into custody over the murder of Tharindi Aloka who was hacked to death by a supposed lover anticipating marriage at a house down Horana Road, Kottawa sometime back is presumably a businessman in Hakmana and according to the latest information revealed by him it is now understood that the murder was carried out for different reasons other than the reasons discovered earlier.

It has now been revealed that this murder was committed in a fury not because of the telephone calls given by deceased Tharindi to the village girl friend of the Hakmana youth who played a double

When questioning the youth continuously by police about this point the youth had confessed a story about photos and video clips. On interrogating he had revealed that some photos clicked together during the romance between him and Tharindi together with some video tapes had created a problem to the extent that it would end in an issue for having been involved in another affair and that copies of those were in possession of both him and Tharindi. After the village girl friend sniffed about the affair between him and Tharindi she had not been on good terms with him for for a short period of time; but though the connection between Tharindi and him as well as the other affair spanned a period of 2 years the call given by Tharindi to his village girl friend was however not strong enough for her to abandon him as such, the youth has confessed.

He has also confessed that Tharindi had strong evidence of his village girl friend was available in the said photos and video clips and that he murdered Tharindi that day for the purpose of destroying that evidence, he had confessed. He had further remarked that he believed that this evidence is available in Tharindi's mobile phone or computer and that after calling his distant lover after she fell out with him she had by telephoning his village lover, Tharindi had threatened him and told him that she would provide and expose that evidence to his Hakmana girl friend and thus destroy that connection. He finally confessed that the reason that Tharindi had gone into such a rage was not only because he had an affair with his village girl friend but as it was seriously revealed to Tharindi that a date had been fixed for his engagement with the other girl.

This youth murders Tharindi last 22nd when arrangements had already been made for the engagement with his Hakmana girl friend for the 28th. The fact that if the marriage took place when Tharindi was among the living, it was strongly etched in his mind that the said marriage would definitely go on the rocks and therefore he had taken steps to hide on the top floor on the 21st and had in that manner made plans to carry out the murder the next day, he had said. Though he had however given a call to his village girl friend after murdering Tharindi she of course had taken his side and had told him to come and meet her, he had confessed. As such though he had entertained thoughts of committing suicide by jumping in front of a moving train; he had subsequently relinquished that idea too.

This young man who was maintaining an agency in Hakmana of directing pilgrimages and sending people overseas had got involved with Tharindi's affluent parents and joined in business activities in the year 2013. During that period he had provided members of Tharindi's family opportunities of foreign travel and had thus developed a close-knit association with them. It was after that he had brought forward a marriage proposal to the deceased daughter who happened to be a charming girl. Members of Tharindi's family has had no reasons to show a negative response in that connection.

Whatever it is, while enjoying the romance of the proposed marriage he had also activated the schoolboy love in his hometown unknown to each other, thus maintaining a dual affair. Since dealings with the Colombo family turned out to be important and profitable by way of certain business matters it is said that he kept on the connection continuously between the two girls. In the end as the cat was out of the bag with both parties coming to know this clandestine activity the Hakmana youth had suffered a frustrated mental condition. His attempt to cover up the blunders he made by an act of homicide had misfired and finally he has had to suffer behind bars.
