The Police suspect an accidental fall may have resulted in the deaths of two 15-year-olds at a luxury apartment complex in Slave Island recently.
Investigations have found that the girl has an interest in taking pictures from high places, with the Police having found several such photos in her mobile phone.
Accordingly, the police suspect that the boy and girl may have fallen from the 67th floor of the apartment complex while attempting to take such photographs.
Meanwhile, Police Spokesman DIG Nihal Thalduwa said preliminary investigations have not confirmed the use of narcotics by the two students.
He further said that CCTV footage also showed no conflict between the duo at the time of the incident.
DIG Thalduwa added that it is yet to be ascertained if the incident was an accidental fall or suicide attempt.
An open verdict has been issued in the deaths of the two 15-year-olds and their bodies have been handed over to their families following the completion of the post-mortem examinations yesterday.
The students from an international school in Colombo were reported dead after having fallen off the 67th floor of a luxury apartment complex in Slave Island.
Their bodies were recovered from the third floor of the complex where airconditioners were placed. (Newswire)
