Yes this man should be sent to the forest and be isolated.

Also the medical doctors should be tried for issuing false medical reports. This is a serious crime

Their were worse crimes that took place in the north with full state sponsorship, but the high officials who were directly and indirectly involved are still living a good life. So now, where is god?

Why has your God got to wait for this to happen?

Even a blind man can tell this fellow is a drug kingpin and murderer, hope all three judges with six eyes can see that.

DUMINDA AND RAYNNOR SILVA ARE BOTH DRUG DEALERS AND MURDERERS, A PAIN TO ALL SRI LANKAN CITIZENS.

This murderer should be hanged, no mercy should be shown. He is a Kuddah.

Kiris Baba Amaray Thursday, 25 June 2015 10:12 PM

Duminda has to answer the tears of Hirunika. Her tears and curses will surely affect Duminda.

Best place for him is only Gallows.

Justice should prevail. Who ever killed late Premachandra has to be punished. The international community too is watching the out come.

Kiris Baba Amaray Thursday, 25 June 2015 10:07 PM

If MR becomes the PM, no doubt this Murderer will shine as an Angel of God.

Vijith Pieterz Thursday, 25 June 2015 10:06 PM

This murderer cannot escape, he should end up behind bars. That is the right judgement.

Bubble Banda Thursday, 25 June 2015 10:04 PM

Even if SriLankan Judicial cannot give him the right verdict, God will give him the right verdict soon.

Horri Jimonis Thursday, 25 June 2015 10:03 PM

He should face maximum punishment and lead to Jail.

Desmond Jeromme Thursday, 25 June 2015 10:02 PM

He is a Murderer... he should go to gallows.

Bala Thursday, 25 June 2015 09:55 PM

Will he get nomination from UPFA under the support of MR.

Shamantha Welgama Thursday, 25 June 2015 05:37 PM

These type of people are not suitable for the Civilized society.

A great opportunity for all responsible bodies to deliver justice towards a new Sri Lanka. Nation is hopeful about its justice system.
