Mystery surrounds Lankan’s death in Bahrain

An investigation is continuing into the mysterious death of a Sri Lankan woman who suffered burns in her Manama apartment in Bahrain on Thursday.

The case is being reviewed by the Public Prosecution amid allegations that a man who lived with her had left the country soon after the incident.

She was known to her friends as Achala Dilhani, but the name stated in her passport is Kumari Akmeenana Kumaragi and social workers said she was aged 42.

The woman died in her second-floor apartment behind Al Jazira Hotel, but it was still unclear exactly how she suffered the burns at around 11pm.

“The case is still under investigation and has been forwarded to the prosecution,” said Sri Lankan honorary consul-general P B Higgoda.
