Lankan doctor freed after manslaughter of abusive husband in Geraldton
A Sri Lankan-born doctor who was convicted of the manslaughter of her abusive husband last year has been granted parole and will be released from prison in Australia this week, Australian media reported.
Chamari Liyanage was jailed for four years in February last year over the fatal bashing of her “manipulative and merciless” husband Dinendra Athukorala in Geraldton in 2014, the West Australian reported.
She has been eligible for parole since June but was facing deportation upon release after her permanent residency visa was automatically cancelled on character grounds.
Liyanage’s visa was reinstated after her friends in the Geraldton community campaigned to convince the Immigration Department to review the mandatory cancellation.
Her parole was approved by the Prisoners Review Board this afternoon and she is set to be released from Greenough Regional Prison on Wednesday.
