SL Embassy in Saudi probes woman’s mysterious death

Colombo (LNW): The Sri Lankan Embassy in Saudi Arabia has requested an inquiry into the suspicious death of a Sri Lankan woman named Sandamali, who reportedly died on July 18 2023.

Spokesperson for the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) Gamini Senarath Yapa highlighted that the embassy was only informed of her passing on October 15, a concerning delay of nearly 87 days.

Given the circumstances, the Sri Lankan Embassy has specifically sought clarification from the Saudi Foreign Ministry and has urged a thorough investigation into the reasons behind the reporting delay.
