The infant’s remains were initially discovered on August 1 inside a toilet of a stationary train at the Maligawatta railway yard, which falls under the Dematagoda Police Division. Following a court order, the body was transferred to the hospital mortuary for safekeeping.

However, when Dematagoda Police officers visited the mortuary on August 29 and 31 to conduct a post-mortem examination, hospital staff were unable to locate the body, raising serious concerns.
