Minister gets hammered again by his wife

A Cabinet Minister and his wife recently engaged in a hand-to-hand fight at the Mount Lavinia Hotel. Eyewitnesses said the wife hit her husband after exchanging abuses. Later, she had walked out of the hotel. The husband who followed had found that his wife had parked her car blocking the road.

She had once again allegedly assaulted the husband and a Sub Inspector bodyguard who accompanied him. Sources close to the Minister say he has moved out of his house and was living elsewhere after the fracas. They say he had consulted lawyers for a divorce but peace moves were under way.

This is not the first time the wife had assaulted her husband in public. On an earlier occasion at a five star hotel in Colombo, she had assaulted her husband and walked out of a public event.
