Famous, Rich Family

Lehan’s father Palith was CEO/Owner of Edna Group (Chocolates, Engineering). His mom Shanika Sumathipala’s brothers Jagath and Thilanga own Sporting Star / BetSS.com.

Edna was formed in 1952. Sumathi grew after independence. All Sri Lankans have enjoyed an Edna Chocolate. Many people have seen 1 of 300+ sports betting shops in Sri Lanka.

COYLE

Palith founded Chamber of Young Lankan Entrepreneurs in 1999 with friends Jagath, Saroj Perera (Douglas and Sons Ltd), Sumal Perera (Access Engineering), etc.

They push Sri Lanka’s leaders for pro business laws. Palith won tenders for metal coverings, casings and chocolates to soldiers’ lunches during civil war.

Tragic Death Occurs

On August 20th, 2005, Palith dies when Chandrika’s cousin’s husband Sharma drives into a train he did not see in Waduwa. Lehan who didn’t go with, is traumatized.

Sharma visits the funeral at Shanika’s home, with an arm sling, and promises he’ll do anything he can to help. He soon sells his hotel + bank stocks, but ghosts Shanika.

Ownership Fight

Soon, on Aug 28th, while Palith owns 55% of Ceylon Weighing Machines (Edna Engineering); his bro Lal takes-over as minority owner with E I & M.

This dispute was handled by Gamini Marapana, Jagath and Shanika against Lal in the Sri Lanka Courts since 2005 (and 2023). Lal refuses to show financials to Shanika (director).

Child Abuse + Trauma

While Palith was friendly. He’d abuse Lehan aged 8 to 12 in horrifying ways. He kept a CCTV in Lehan’s room to try trap and coerce disturbing behaviors.

Lehan developed Complex PTSD according to British doctors. He is on Mirtazapine, an antidepressant. He is 40kg for 5’ 9” and very unhealthy.

False Solution

Lal promises Shanika to return the Edna Engineering “once Lehan’s education is finished.” He confesses in 2016, after delaying, he'd struggle to do so.

Lal’s claimed that his Edna Chocolates were free of “melamine”, which health authorities found, and the BBC reported. They fight often, separate.

ETI Finance Scam

Lal’s wife is also an Edirisinghe: Deepa is a director of EAP Edirisinghe and ETI Finance. The “mess” hit 1,000s of depositors for $75m. Funds are missing.

Deepa helped Sirisena, who is blamed for allowing April 21st, 2019 attacks, by refusing warnings. Local officials like to help figures like Deepa or Jude Jayamaha.
