Chamila Wijesuriyauna Dies, Lifeless Body Found in Pond
The discovery
The woman had been missing since last Friday and was last seen with Emanuele De Maria. The latter today committed suicide by jumping from the Milan Cathedral
The search for Chamila Wijesuriyauna, 50, who also worked at the Berna hotel and disappeared on Friday afternoon, was also continuing in the northern area of Milan . From the images from the cameras at the Bignami station of the purple subway, it emerged that the woman met De Maria in the Parco Nord area on Friday afternoon on the border between Milan and Cinisello Balsamo, but then, two hours later, the same cameras only caught De Maria . There were fears, therefore, for the fate of the woman, whose cell phone was found by a subway cleaner and returned to her husband, who filed a missing person report with the Carabinieri on Friday evening. For now, they have searched the entire Parco Nord in vain.
Chamila Wijesuriyauna Dies: Lifeless Body Found in PondThe motive for the attack that the woman allegedly suffered remains unclear and investigators are waiting to be able to question Abdelghaffar Nasr (the colleague stabbed by De Maria ), whose conditions are improving and therefore he could soon explain why De Maria waited for him at dawn in front of the hotel and then stabbed him with a knife. The most likely hypothesis is that the relationship of both men with Chamila Wijesuriyauna was the cause of the stabbing. An employee of the hotel for almost 20 years, she had been working at the bar for some time together with her colleague of Egyptian origins, while De Maria had been a receptionist since 2023 and had been employed on a permanent basis since last November.
Who was Chamila Wijesuriyauna and what was her relationship with Emanuele De Maria?The search for the woman was concentrated in the area between Cinisello Balsamo , where she lived, and the Bignami stop on Viale Fulvio Testi in Milan , where her cell phone was found, and in particular in Parco Nord where the two met on Friday afternoon. In the meantime, the Carabinieri , following a report to 118 , intervened inside Parco Nord , where the body of a woman was found. Initial investigations suggest that the body belongs to Chamila Wijesuriyauna , the colleague of the escaped suicide Emanuele De Maria . The latter took his own life today, jumping from the Milan Cathedral .
