On the 24rd night, there had been a musical party at the Hotel when Sampath the Chairman of the local body had started poking fun at and harassing the wife of the deceased in an immoral manner . Following this , a dispute had erupted between the Britisher , his wife and the murderers , whereupon Sampath and his murder gang had shot at the British citizen, Khuram Shaikh. The latter had died of the gunshot injuries while his Russian wife who sustained injuries is being treated at the Karapitiya Hospital.
At the post-mortem examination, JMO Dr. H.K.K. Wijeweera determined cut injuries as the cause of death, although there is a gunshot wound in his body as well.
