PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA: A 22-year-old Sri Lankan student who was killed by a group of kinife-wielding men is believed to be a victim of mistaken identity.
Sarankan Srikandarajah from Sri Lanka was having lunch at 3.45 pm last Wednesday in Taman Tasik Semenyih, just a two-minute drive from Nottingham University in Kajang where he studied, when 10 men in three cars pulled up and attacked three students.
A witness said the assailants hacked and slashed the victims.
`It was horrible and everyone was stunned as they attacked my friends for almost two minutes before leaving without saying a word,` the witness, who requested to remain anonymous, said.
Sarankan, a final-year student, suffered multiple slash wounds, losing part of his heels and fingers as he tried to kick the kinfe away.
He died at the Subang Jaya Medical Centre over the weekend.
A few minutes after the attack on Wednesday, another student of the same university was attacked two kilometres away when the same assailants blocked his car and began slashing at him.
`They rammed my car to a stop in the middle of the road.
One of them opened my door and began slashing me until one of his gang members said in Tamil: `He is not the person`.
`He stopped attacking me and got back in his car and drove off,` the victim, said.
He suffered cuts on his thigh, hand and leg and needed 48 stitches.
It is learnt that many of the students living the area are afraid for their safety following the vicious attack.
Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Sakaruddin Che Mood confirmed the incidents.

Looks like gang war between Sri Lankan Tamils in Malaysia. Very tragic an innocent young student must lose his life and another almost lost his.
How much longer will it be before the Malaysians start tightening on the almost free issue of visas to Sri Lankans? |

I wonder if this is a LTTE Vs TMVP feud being played out in Malaysia?
Where next? white vans in Toronto? London? Paris? Melbourne? Palermo? |

| Where are Pealam supporters? These things do not happen in Sri Lanka. All Sri Lankans are safer here, except Pealam terrorists. |

If this were to happen in Sri Lanka, then the whole Tamil race would rise against Sri Lanka and would go on protesting for years !
This also shows that Malaysian Bhoomi-Putra's are serious..

| In Malaysia there are quite a lot of Malaysian Tamils apart from the SL breed. Most of the taxis are run by them and interestingly Tamil seems to be an official language in Malaysia like in Singapore. |
