What evidence do you have on the suspects?

Child murderer is a drug addict. Who brings drugs to the country? Mostly politicians and their henchmen. Knowing very well they are drug barrens, still people of Sri Lanka elect them to the parliament. People who voted drug dealers to the parliament are responsible for this crime.

For this type of crimes-minor or major - rich or poor- educated or uneducated - drug addict or not- convict/s should be given death sentence to protect our children.

Those who sell drugs to the school boys should think how they would feel if their children get addicted to drugs.

death sentence will not resolve the issue. Only way to irradicate the issue is by reintroduce the value based education into the society.

Death sentence is not a solution. We have seen countries with death sentence and higher rate of crimes. Education should focus on character than mere merits. Otherwise, we will face this situation over and over again... Parents, Teachers, Societies teach values...

The motive of this murder is the evil society. Therefore, let us all have a zeal to work for a better society to reduce the tragic incidents of that caliber.May we no more hear these type of incidents.
