Widow falls madly in love with FB boy and comes to his home with all belongings

A widow had struck up a friendship across the Facebook with an underaged boy employed overseas and later had exceeded the bonds of friendship. The boy had returned to Sri Lanka after his stint abroad while the woman referred to had come in search of him with the boy being unaware of her action, it is reported. The widow who so made access to his home found that at that moment he was not in and being thus disappointed had
attempted suicide, it was said.

The widow concerned was a resident of Trincomalee and she has come across this youth who was a resident of Matale. When matters were such, he had as if for fun suggested the idea of living together because the youth had thought of maintaining an intimate alliance with this woman who is supposed to have been living a solitary existence after the death of her husband. The widow of course had immediately welcomed his advances and during the course of this relationship he had made an indecent proposal by exchanging a photo of his, displaying his nude body. Subsequently, the widow who developed a desire to unite with this youth had ultimately managed to find out as to where he was, as if by mental confusion. However, the boy had never dreamed that she would come in search of him.

In the meantime the widow had packed up her goods and chattels in a travelling bag and had proceeded to visit the boy one afternoon during last week, arriving at his home in Matale with the purpose of lodging there. The household members were taken aback with this incident of an unknown woman mentioning the youth's name and the moment they had told her that he had gone for classes they were unable to figure out why the woman had behaved in a confounded manner. The widow had then begun to utter "aiyo, isn't he there .. did he lie to me?" in a nonsensical mood and had then left the house towards the road. In a short while the members of his home came to understand that the woman had tried to jump at a moving vehicle on the road. The woman had attempted suicide having been subjected to mental pressure, with her hopes being shattered. 

This widow who abandoned her home and lodgings and came in search of this boy to Matale was taken into custody by the police for the offence of trying to commit suicide. The additional District Judge/Magistrate Mr. S.B.H.M. Sesiri Herath ordered that she be remanded until the 4th of next month and called for a medical report from a psychiatrist. What she who had become a widow said was that she had come to know this youth across the Facebook when he was overseas. Also that as time passed by, the attachment had gone too far and because the youth had displayed his person and proposed to unite as soon as he returns to the island, she admitted that as a result she had packed up her belongings and come to Matale in quest of him. 

When conducting further investigations on the widow's restless behaviour, the youth in question too was brought and an inquiry was conducted on which occasion the boy had denied that he had invited her home. He had also added that she is someone who is suffering from a mental state. Investigations are proceeding in this connection.
