Two mothers have been found abandoned in Trincomalee and both were admitted to the Trincomalee hospital, the Trincomalee police said today.
One mother, Menike Sooriarachi (64), told the police that she was a resident of Battaramulla and that her son had brought her to Trincomalee and dropped her off near a bus stand.
She said that her son is an engineer employed in Colombo but refused to divulge further details of her residential address or information of her son.
According to the police, the lady said she does not want to return to Colombo and be a burden on her son and would rather stay in a home for the elders.
Meanwhile the other lady, identified as T. Veronika, was found abandoned near the Trincomalee hospital with poor eyesight.
She told the police that she had four sons, one who is working overseas, and she too would rather be in an elder’s home than return to someone who does not want her
