Brutal assault on mentally retarded ex-soldier

04 May 2014 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

A former soldier now mentally retarded suffered several head injuries when a young woman assaulted him with her high heeled shoes.

The soldier was demobilized when found suffering from severe mental trauma after being caught in a landmine explosion during the height of war in 1998 at Batticaloa.

He is said to have accidently knocked against the woman during the rush hour and the young woman thinking he had done it on purpose had gone berserk assaulting him unmercifully.

The 42-year-old retired soldier was admitted to the Gokarella Hospital. He later complained to police. (Mohamed Buhardeen)
