Three people have died when they fell off a partly built structure in Makulluwa Galle District yesterday, the police said. A five–year–old child, his father and their neighbour died in the tragedy. 

They had climbed atop the building for kite flying since the atmosphere was windy at the time. At the top of the building, an opening meant for the fixing of the elevator had been covered with an iron sheet. They had apparently stepped onto the iron sheet which collapsed. They had fallen down and died upon admission to the area hospital.  The Police are conducting investigations.
