Geeth Madushanka : “Sri Lankan Student in Perth Critically Injured: Unprovoked Attack”

A Sri Lankan international student in Perth, Australia, is currently in critical condition after being cowardly attacked by a stranger at a BP petrol station in Langford, Perth. The incident, which occurred around 10 pm on May 25, has left Geeth Madushanka, 28, fighting for his life.

According to reports from the Daily Mail, the attacker, identified as Cyril Benedict Garlett, allegedly pushed and punched Madushanka in the face, causing him to fall and hit his head. Police have stated that Garlett had previously attacked two other men earlier that day, leading to the serious injuries sustained by Madushanka.

Madushanka, who has been studying in Perth since February, is currently receiving treatment in the ICU at Royal Perth Hospital. His family and friends have set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for his medical expenses, as he faces a long and challenging road to recovery. So far, they have raised $9,000 towards his treatment.

Garlett has been charged with grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning bodily harm, and criminal damage or destruction of property in connection with the incident. The local authorities are conducting a thorough investigation into the attack to ensure that justice is served for Madushanka and his loved ones.

This shocking incident serves as a reminder of the importance of community safety and the need to address violence in society. It has sparked outrage and concern among the Sri Lankan community in Perth and has highlighted the vulnerability of international students studying abroad.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Geeth Madushanka and his family during this difficult time. We hope for his speedy recovery and for justice to be served in this unfortunate and senseless act of violence.
