Youth who met with accident .... supposed to be a school friend of Nuwan

The motor cyclist who passed away after being run over by cricketer Nuwan Kulasekera's motor car in Ranmuthugala along the main road of Colombo - Kandy is someone who had his education in Nuwan's own school and knows him, it is reported. 

The deceased is an air-conditioner technician who met
with this tragic accident aged 28 years from Maimbula, Nittambuwa and is a bachelor. When evidence was called for yesterday, this is what cricketer Nuwan Kulasekera said: "This incident happened at about 3.30 pm yesterday Monday (19). I was travelling home from Gampaha. I passed Kirillawela and there was a bit of a traffic congestion. There was roughly a speed of about 50. I am unable to tell the speed exactly; but it wasn't a moment that one could go at top speed. Suddenly I noticed something coming from the island on the right side. Just then I felt it knocking the vehicle. I tried to take the vehicle to the left side and immediately I applied the brakes also. I stopped on the left hand side. From the side mirror I was able to see the crowd rocking. Only when I went there I saw a person fallen down. I stayed in the vehicle for less than a minute and then only I got down. I saw blood there and that an accident had taken place. I was overcome with fear. Leaving the vehicle there as it was I waited at a boutique until the police came .... because a person had already called the police. The police came and attended to their duties about the accident and after that I went with those officers to the police station and gave a statement. Went before the Magistrate also. Then was bailed out. On instructions by police I presented myself today (20). According to my knowledge this is something that is unavoidable. The accident happened so suddenly. But as a good citizen my obligation and duty is to do justice to the family of the victimized".

The mother of deceased Dinesh Aravinda (28) of Nittambuwa, the victim in this instance who was run over by the vehicle and passed away happens to be a school colleague of Nuwan Kulasekera, Dinesh's mother says. This is what she said by describing all that: "My son went to Ranpokunagama Maha Vidyalaya. He's very good for sports. That time he was mad over cricket. It's because of that he knows Nuwan Kulasekera. Nuwan also went to the same school that my son went. He used to speak so much about Nuwan. Later on he was admitted to Sanghabodhi Vidyalaya. There he was in the volleyball team also. I still can't think of what happened to my son. 

After the accident Nuwan Kulasekera's father too spoke to me over the telephone. Aney ... I told Nuwan's father: 'My son is now dead no ... whether he has a mistake on his hands or not ... save your son'. 

Whatever it is, according to what Kulasekera has mentioned, it has been possible to observe on inspection that the footrest of the motor cycle had got dragged several meters along the section at the point where it separated the road in which direction the motor cyclist had come. Under these circumstances the police say that a blunder on the part of Kulasekera cannot be detected so far. Nuwan Kulasekera was tested to ascertain whether he was under liquor. It has been confirmed that the results in that case turned out to be negative, police further said.

The post-mortem over the dead body was carried out by Dr. U.L.M.S. Perera of the Judicial Medical Unit of the Ragama Teaching Hospital and his medical report has been issued giving the verdict that death was caused as a result of injuries caused to the head having struck against a motor vehicle which was in motion. The lady coroner decided that the autopsy be postponed once again until the 1st of next month. The police were instructed to forward any evidence on that day.
