His wife has had no interest in admitting him to the house after that. He had however lived separately with the premeditated motive of killing his wife.Day-before-yesterday (13) night he had made his way into his wife's house at Pahalagama, Dammulla, Karandana and shown a knife to her and frightened her and then tried to kill her. On that occasion he had even threatened her by showing her a bottle of acid too and after pulling her out of the house had attempted to murder her. At that point she had screamed and her voice had been heard by those in neighbouring houses. Those in surrounding areas had rushed to her house and the neighbours had witnessed how this man was trying to kill her. Ultimately when he was cornered, he had threatened to stab even those who came near him.
The people had then surrounded him and the neighbours had tried to bring him under control by attacking him with flower pots in the house and gravel particles in the garden. The assailant who received injuries on vital spots of his body; especially his head, had subsequently collapsed and had passed away in that instance, bleeding. The police had observed that a helpless woman's life was saved because of the action launched by the neighbours. The police took custody of his knife and bottle of acid at the place of the incident brought there by the deceased.
