Did the Ex-Myanmar Ambassador to Sri Lanka Abuse Diplomatic Immunity and Get Away With Killing His Wife?
Despite eyewitnesses and doubts about the cremation, the death of the Ex-Myanmar ambassador’s wife remains a mystery.
It was the morning of October 15, 1967. Two local bricklayers were working in the area in front of the Myanmar ambassador’s residence. They were startled by the sound of a gunshot.
They stopped their work and paid attention to the ambassador’s residence. Another servant boy from a neighboring house of the ambassador’s house also witnessed the event.
They saw a woman in a nightdress running from the house towards a car parked near the gate. A man behind her fired his gun again, and she collapsed.
Another man came from the house, grabbed her by the armpits from behind, and dragged her into the house. Again, they heard three more gunshots. The astonished crowd gathered outside the diplomatic residence.
The news of the ambassador’s wife Shirley’s death flew across Colombo like the wind. An hour later, a doctor was summoned to the residence. After the doctor left, the Myanmar officials called the funeral home.
The personnel from the funeral home went there to take measurements of the corpse. Yet, they were not allowed to enter the house. Instead, they were instructed to bring a coffin the size of 5'4".
When they returned with the coffin, only one person from the funeral home was allowed to enter the house. However, he too had to leave the house immediately.
Within Four or Five Hours, a Dramatic Event Was Over.
