The other man in the house - Chathurika, 27 - also suffered acid burns, was stabbed in the stomach and broke his ankle in the attack. He is in a serious but stable condition at Westmead Hospital.                   Neither of the men was involved in politics or in <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/national/tamils-sinhalese-clash-in-westmead-20090517-b7ek.html" target="_blank">yesterday's brawl between Tamils and Sinhalese</a>, and they were probably only targeted because it was known that Sinhalese - the Buddhist ethnic majority in Sri Lanka - lived in their house, a friend said.      "This house has always been famous for Sri Lankans ... they are always having parties and stuff, so they know [there are Sinhalese here]," said the friend, who did not wish to be named.      It also emerged that Chathurika was only recently married. He arrived back in Sydney last week after his wedding three weeks ago, but his wife remained in Sri Lanka. <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/national/sydney-acid-attack-link-to-tamils-20090518-b7j3.html?page=-1" target="_blank">Read More</a> </blockquote>
