A little boy in Sri Lanka seemed to have memories of being his deceased uncle in a past life. He said he murdered his fiancée, and indeed that uncle had murdered his fiancée—a tightly guarded family secret his father said he could not have known.
Shortly before he died, a man named Ratran in Sri Lanka told his brother, Tileratne Hami, he would be reborn as his son. When a son was born to Hami 19 years later, that son was slightly deformed.
His right arm was shorter than his left, and the fingers on his right hand were malformed as was the right side of his rib-cage. When he was 2 years old, the boy’s mother heard him talking to himself. He was saying that he was born crippled as punishment for murdering his fiancée.
Shocked, his mother asked him to repeat what he had said, and he again stated that he had killed the woman with a knife and that his current father was his brother.
The mother told Hami what the boy had said, and Hami revealed the family secret to her for the first time. His brother had been executed after he was convicted of the murder.
