The victim Ellawalage Yeman Yasantha Abeyratne (25) from the area was a field officer of a job bank in Kollupitiya. However after marriage he had been living in Polgasovita in Piliyandala and often visited Mount Lavinia and Ratmalana area. He had gone to Thelawala to attend an alms giving at a relative's house.
