Three schoolgirls were reportedly abducted by unidentified men in Akuressa, Gandara and Mawarala police areas, police said. The three girls about 15 years of age are from the villages of Deegala, Kekanadura and Deiyandara in the Matara district. One of them had been abducted in the early hours of today from her home, the other while she was at the Uyanwatta playground this morning and the third girl was on her way to school when she was abducted by a man who came in a trishaw.

Police suspect the girls might have been in love with the men who are alleged to have abducted them. (Krishan Jeewaka Jayaruk)
