A female Anesthetist from Matara hospital who went missing while on her way to Galle on Friday was found in Anuradhapura, Police said.

She was found when she was staying at a pilgrim’s rest in Anuradhapura. She had told the police that she had gone to Anuradhapura to offer a” Bodhi Puja” to invoke blessings to her sick father.

Dr. Mrs. Erandi Kulasingyhe (32) had gone missing from Friday night (24) after she left the hospital and was on her way home at Hikkaduawa. IGP N.K.Ilangakoon has ordered the Colombo Crime Division to conduct investigations in addition to the two police teams appointed by Senior DIG Southern Province Chandana Wickremaratna.
Dr. Mrs. Kulasinghe’s husband Army Major Dr. Janitha Ruwan Dayananda (32) told Galle police that he received the last call from his wife when she was passing the Ahangama town and after that her mobile phone was dead. Police said they were now conducting investigations based on the incoming and outgoing calls on her mobile phone. Dr. Mrs. Kulasinghe, from Kalutara had been an anesthetist attached to the Matara General hospital for about two years.

Inquiries revealed that she had been staying in a rented house in the Uyanwatta area from where she travelled to hospital daily. Last Friday she had been on duty at the hospital from 2 pm to 5 pm and left for Hikkaduwa around 5.30 pm by car driven by her. However she had gone missing after 6.50 pm. A senior police official said investigators recovered several letters written by her, a laptop and medicine used by her for some ailment for a long time from her room that would be helpful in their investigations. He said the circumstances that led to the doctor’s disappearance were yet to be established. Matara SSP Deshabandu Thennakoon, SP Sisira Kumara, Actg. HQI Matara Krishantha Lokuge, OIC Women and Children Bureau Waruni Bogahawatta, OIC Crime Investigation Branch Nuwan Wijethunga and a team of officers of the Colombo Crime Investigation Division are conducting inquiries.

100% fishy !! why go from Galle to Anuradhapura for Bodi pooja ?? so far away !!
She could have go to Kataragama, just less than 150Km from Matara !!
Would have gone to see her important patient !!

Probably the good Doctor anesthetised herself.

Mif Monday, 26 November 2012 08:58 AM

Something wrong some wre.....!!!!

MagodisThuma Monday, 26 November 2012 09:15 AM

To get the best results..... you should not tell even to the husband !

MagodisThuma Monday, 26 November 2012 09:22 AM

Why worry...Husband & the police believe the Bodhipooja story !

kirala Monday, 26 November 2012 09:30 AM

I smell something fishy here.........

Sammy Monday, 26 November 2012 09:56 AM

All's well that ends well but why did she not inform someone known to her about this?

Lal Monday, 26 November 2012 10:04 AM

Yes, it would appear there is something missing here. Why would a wife go to Anuradhapura from Galle without husband’s knowledge? I feel both husband and wife are hiding something here. Either they are in dispute over something or they are already separated.

Fazli Monday, 26 November 2012 08:34 AM

Certainly its none of my concern ! Yet misterious !

Gnanapala Monday, 26 November 2012 10:35 AM

Bro,

What else do you expect from those "striking" doctors?

Hasbanda Monday, 26 November 2012 10:40 AM

Hey busy body. Mind your own business.

U.S.Gamini Monday, 26 November 2012 10:46 AM

She is using Religion as escape goat here. Shame on her..

lal Monday, 26 November 2012 10:58 AM

Tell the truth to the military husband to avoid the otherwise inevitable court marshall.

Aney Machang Monday, 26 November 2012 11:23 AM

Indecent propsals

Senadhirajah Friday, 30 November 2012 11:45 AM

quite irresponsible action by a wife. The husband should question her.

pj Monday, 26 November 2012 06:52 AM

But her husband doesn't know about her pilgrimage !! Poor chap !??

Sonna Boy Monday, 26 November 2012 05:14 AM

Was She Abducted by Aliens?

Laminate Monday, 26 November 2012 05:27 AM

Is she alone, when she was found?

MagodisThuma Monday, 26 November 2012 05:32 AM

You see... I'm correct... she was Missing in Action !

Imran Hussein Monday, 26 November 2012 06:14 AM

Still you are wrong mate. there is no dettails here. You dont just go that far without letting your close associates loved onbes know.

xlntgson Monday, 26 November 2012 06:16 AM

Sensationalism? Lost is news, not, found!

Suresh Monday, 26 November 2012 06:16 AM

French leave, who anaesthetised her

Gnanapala Monday, 26 November 2012 06:17 AM

Magodis Thuma is always and one hundred percent correct, in Sri Lankan affairs of this nature. We have no doubt of that.

Hoo.....rae.............

patriot Monday, 26 November 2012 06:18 AM

Why didn't she inform someone before she went to Anuradhapura? Something fishy!

Asanka Monday, 26 November 2012 06:46 AM

Doctors especially Anaesthetists should be more responsible. She tells her Husband that she's caught up in a traffic jam in galle and then she's found in Anuradhapura. I am really suprised how such absent minded people can become Doctors let alone Anaesthetists. What if an excessive dose of general anaesthetic is given to a Patient ?

Murshid Monday, 26 November 2012 06:50 AM

If she had gone voluntarily, the husband should be fined a heavy penalty for giving a false complaint. This had wasted the resources and time of the Police. Also, Police salaries are paid by us "The Tax Payers" and not the Government.

Lone Ranger Monday, 26 November 2012 04:57 AM

I wonder how that could happen, kidnapped or ......

Andy Monday, 26 November 2012 06:59 AM

bodhi puja kranna gedarata nokiya yanawa d lamayooo....

Prof Wickramatillake Monday, 26 November 2012 07:59 AM

Strange story!! Didn't inform the Military Doc husband.

LS Monday, 26 November 2012 08:07 AM

Looks like she has heavily anaesthetised the husband before going to Anuradhapura !!

Sareek Monday, 26 November 2012 08:09 AM

Police should collect all expences from her.

Calee Fernando Monday, 26 November 2012 08:12 AM

Chapter closed.

saraw Monday, 26 November 2012 08:25 AM

wow. She is definitely on genus book.

Ranjit Monday, 26 November 2012 08:30 AM

Everything sounds very fishy.

MagodisThuma Monday, 26 November 2012 08:32 AM

Not a poor chap a poor Crap !

OMG Monday, 26 November 2012 08:32 AM

Something fishy around here. Could it be a romantic story in the background.
