The family of murdered schoolgirl S Vithiya have said that they are experiencing ongoing harassment and have requested to be relocated.
Vithiya’s mother and brother told Sri Lankan president Maithripala Sirisena during his visit that they feared for their safety and wished to be moved.
Mr Sirisena told the family that they would receive aid from the President’s fund and that he would discuss the issue of the family’s security with Northern Province chief minister C V Wigneswaran.
