The Ordinary Level student of St. Peter’s College in Bambalapitiya was last caught on CCTV footage near a Standard Chartered Bank branch close to his home.
Devon’s mother Deepika Kenny told the Sunday Observer that she last saw him early Thursday morning.
“It was around 5.30am. he left home and was caught on CCTV at around 6.20am. We don’t know where he went after that,” Kenny said.
A police complaint was lodged at the Mount Lavinia Police. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie, a pair of black trousers, a backpack and a pair of slippers. He has reportedly refused to go to school before he left the house.
“My son is a quiet and an innocent child. Reading is his main hobby,” Kenny said, recalling Devon to be a ‘home person’ with a close net of friends.
“He never went out and is calm and quiet,” she said. She urged the public to contact the nearest police station or call her on 0773 779850 with any information about her son’s whereabouts.
