Get the bloody evidence right before the arrest. These arrests are only a show.

CITIZEN Monday, 18 July 2016 06:22 PM

Why no hand cuff? He is tied Pirith Noola instead!

Charging and convicting are different things, you can't keep the suspect always in remand unless a vlaid reason can be provided. mostly in the murder cases suspect are kept for a long period.

Ashiq Monday, 18 July 2016 03:17 PM

Don't you know the law of the land. you can't keep them in the jail forever for all the cases. If the suspect has valid reason Magistrate has to give the bail. Just because you didn't see this during the previous government, it doesn't mean it is wrong. go learn some law

Now days SL's legal system and act of other Authorities becoming very joke?

Are we being ruled by MaRajas yet. The guy arrested arrives at the FCID is ridiculing Yahapalanaya. Remember we voted for a real change

Ratavasiya Monday, 18 July 2016 02:14 PM

This is all due to our backboneless and sewala leadership of the country.

Sharon Monday, 18 July 2016 12:07 PM

Thomas Ranger Monday, 18 July 2016 01:21 PM

This is becoming a comedy. The nephew goes out the back door while the uncle is entering for the 3rd time through the front door.
