They said that although they were fond of Korean music and Western dance, it was opposed by adults. They later told police they had decided to leave home to study music and dance. Accordingly, they had arrived in Pettah, Colombo in a three-wheeler on the morning of the 8th and had found the money they needed by selling a gold ring for Rs. 64,000. Instead of wearing full-body clothing, they first went to Wattala to buy clothes and find Western music and dance class. Later they had left for Anuradhapura. A bus driver who was paying attention to the girls said, “The bus left Colombo at 5.30. The children were dressed in black. I bought a ticket to Anuradhapura. I was told to go to Anuradhapura and return to Colombo. It was late at night and we were asked to board a Colombo bus. A bus coming from Mannar arrived at around 12.30 pm. I went and stopped and put the 3 kids on the bus and got off at Colombo. Told not to drop anywhere else. These are called banana plantations. Then I called the bus. I was told to leave Colombo at around 7.30 in the morning. “ They returned to Colombo and returned to Kandy to find a suitable class. They had returned to Colombo as they could not find a class there and had gone to a lodge for the night. The girls had told the police that they had been refused admission due to lack of national identity cards. The three had returned home around 10 pm.
