A 32-year-old woman has died due to injuries sustained after being assaulted by her husband in the Batagama area in Ja-Ela.
The Police said the woman was admitted to the Ragama Hospital following the incident on Wednesday night and had been transferred to the Colombo National Hospital where she had died while receiving treatment last morning.
Preliminary investigations reveal that an argument between the woman and her husband had escalated, due to which her brother had attempted to intervene, but her husband had pushed her resulting in sustaining injuries due to the fall.
The 33-year-old husband of the woman has been arrested over the murder, while the Kandana Police is conducting investigations. (Newswire)
