Wife stabbed to death by husband because of phone 'password' suspicion
There are many instances where suspicion put lives into confusion. Once the seed of suspicion happens to get planted in the depths of the mind, it casts an impact not only for one's life but for the lives of others too. Sometime recently the seed of such an occasion which created suspicion went out of bounds and as a result of a sudden burst of temper it brought death on its trail.
Renuka Malkanthi who put her wedding ring promising to enjoy conjugal happiness and sorrow
alike, finally became the victim of her husband's fit of anger and ultimately had to take leave of her life on the eve of last 23rd at a moment when her husband questioned her about a password being inserted in her mobile phone. Not being able to bear the response given by her Renuka Malkanthi the 39 year old mother of one child succumbed to death after being stabbed by her husband.Renuka Malkanthi who lived in Agalawatta, Dapiligoda was involved in a vocation as a soothsayer or fortuneteller with the blessings of the gods and was living in pleasure with her 12 year old daughter. On the other hand her husband Achala Priyantha was maintaining a balanced family life sans any economic problems or any such related issues in that connection with the income earned from his profession. Achala Priyantha in fact was engaged in the bakery trade while his daughter was a schoolgoing lass. Even neighbours were struck by this sudden tragedy which took place within a family who lived a life of contentment.
The background as the source of this incident was that the wife was involved in making preparations for her husband who was getting ready to visit a funeral house of a neighbour and in the meantime he had taken his wife's mobile phone with the idea of getting a call to someone and on that occasion he found that a password has been used for the phone which then confused him. As such he then proceeded to question Renuka about it.
However, on the spur of the moment his temper exceeded its limits and it ended up with this murder. Subsequently he had repented over what he had done; but it was only then that he came to know that his beloved wife was no more among the living and having realised the tragedy, in order to console himself the only thing that was available to him was to put an end to his own life too and there was nothing but a bottle of insecticide at hand. However the attempt was averted with the mediation of relatives and neighbours and Achala is presently in hospital battling between life and death.
