A search went on near Verona
Wednesday for a woman who killed her three-year-old and
11-year-old daughters in an anti-domestic violence shelter on
Tuesday, with drones being deployed in the area and divers
combing the local Adige River where her bag and cellphone were
found on the riverbank.
The 34-year-old Sri Lankan woman, Sachithra Ninansala Fernando
Dewendra Mahawaduge, fled the shelter where the three were
living after fleeing a violent father with drug problems.
The woman and her daughters had been in the home at Porto San
Pancrazio since January, after an order from a minors court for
them to leave the family home due to the violent and abusive
behaviour of the father, who had had drug problems in the past.
