“I went out of the house that day to watch women bathing and pleasure myself.”
My intention was not to kill Seya but sexually molest her, her murderer Pedige Saman Jayalath tells the Negombo Magistrate Court.
the murder case of five-year-old Seya from Badalgama area in Kotadeniyawa was taken up this Friday (29) where Jayalath confessed that his motives by abducting the child was to stay with her the way he would with his wife.
Jayalath had been walking around the village under the influence of alcohol and drugs that night when he had seen Seya’s mother watching the TV.
“All I wanted at that moment was to have sexual intercourse with her even if she was not willing,” he confessed. But as he entered the house he had seen Seya sleeping and abducted her instead.
