The day before the poya, Siripala kills his older brother. Rathne is the prime suspect and arrested. He is sentenced to death on the gallows.

While awaiting death, he confesses his bad behavior during his past. He thrived in terrorising the village with ill-gotten money and power. He came there to evade punishment for a double murder.
