No trace of missing student yet as of last evening
Four police teams searching for a 16-year-old student, missing since Thursday, had found no trace of him as of last evening.
Aldon Devon Kenny, a GCE O/Level student at a leading private boys’ school in Bambalapitiya, left his home in Ratmalana on Thursday morning. His mother told the Sunday Times that Aldon had told her early that morning that he would not be going to school. However, he had subsequently left home without informing anyone.
CCTV footage from a neighbour’s house showed Aldon leaving home clad in casual wear and carrying a backpack at around 6.20 am. CCTV footage from a private bank branch along Galle Road captured him walking in the direction of Moratuwa about 10 minutes later. No trace of him has been found since then.
He was last seen wearing a black hoodie, black trousers and slippers.
He had a tab in his backpack, but when family members tried to reach him through the device, they found that it had been switched off.
