Ukrainian arrested for assault on a SL woman

Ahangama Police arrested a foreigner for allegedly assaulting and causing injuries to a Sri Lankan woman over an aggravated dispute about the company shares of a joint venture.

The foreigner is a Ukrainian named Kohet Alexender. The injured Sri Lankan woman, Thuduwa Gamage Deepika Priyani, was admitted to the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital for treatment.

The injured woman had started a tourist guesthouse at Meliyagoda, Kurunduwatte in Ahangama, as a joint venture with a Ukrainian woman sometime back. However a few days ago, the Ukrainian partner had left Sri Lanka after transferring the possession of her company shares to the suspect by way of a power of attorney. Subsequently, the suspect had a dispute over the company shares with the Sri Lankan partner that led to the assault, Ahangama Police said.

The suspect was to be produced before court on completion of investigations.
