Sri Lanka, Sept. 21 -- Police say a 21-year-old man has died after being attacked with a sharp weapon by another young man in Balawathgama, Hemmathagama last afternoon (20).

Authorities report that the incident stemmed from a personal dispute involving romantic relationships between the two parties.

The suspect, a 23-year-old man from Ratnapura, had been in a long-term relationship with a young woman, while the victim had reportedly developed a friendship with her through an online game.

Preliminary investigations indicate that this may have been a factor leading to the fatal attack.

The police have confirmed that the victim succumbed to injuries sustained in the stabbing.
