What we thought was that our daughter ....
had gone to grandma's room -- girl's mother says
It has still not been revealed as to who had abducted the pre-school 5 year old student Seya Sandewimi whose body was found murdered in Gampaha Akarangaha area. The mother of the victimised girl spoke about the incident where somebody had come to the house and had kidnappe
d the girl when she too was in the house."Our mother and father went to a funeral house at about 7 in the night of 11th. My husband had gone on a hire for garment girls. I and my son had our dinner and then watched TV. While watching TV the three children were falling asleep on their chairs from time to time. I took them one by one and carried them and kept them on the bed. I also went to sleep. Though my parents went to the funeral-house and returned in the night at 10.45 I didn't come out. There's another extra key at a safe spot in the house to open the door. My husband returned around 12 in the night. That time the daughter was not in bed. What we thought was the small one had gone to her grandma's room.
On other days also when she gets up she takes her pillow and goes to her grandma. After we slept and then after getting up went to the kitchen when her father asked where the daughter was. I then asked, 'wasn't the child in your room?' It was then that we realised that the child was not inside the house. We didn't hear any news in the night. The dog in the house used to bark even if someone was going on the road. The dog also didn't bark. There's a window in the room where we and the children sleep. It has three flaps in the window but one flap doesn't have a grill fixed to one flap. The kidnappers may have taken my daughter through that window. Next 16th is the birthday of my daughter who was to go to school next year. What is this oh god that instead of the birthday that we have had to celebrate!"
The reason for the grill not being found in one flap of the window is that in case the key of the main door is lost that grill had been removed so that it is possible to enter the house that way, it was revealed at police investigations. Further investigations are underway regarding this incident.
