    Stabbing(or any other serious crime) is now so innate in this country to the point it is ironically banal, result of a venal and feeble Judiciary.

    These "Britishers" do not conduct themselves in the same class as the British gentlemen of the era gone by!

    And they want tourists - these fools who run the beaches must all be ousted and jailed for the country to prosper forthwith!

    Visiting a restaurant for meals and alcohol is not a crime. Otherwise serving liquor should be banned. Stabbing is serious.

    So, that the stabbing is justified.

    Bad image for the country. There are better ways to control such incidents of intoxication.

    Sue Monday, 21 September 2015 02:30 PM

    ...and we are trying our best to promote tourism!!! Better tell tourists to be careful when visiting the south.

    Nimal Monday, 21 September 2015 02:55 PM

    Sorry to hear about this.Hope this person get well and enjoy the hospitality of the decent islanders.Hope the police will go after the scumbag who did this to him.

    Nimal Monday, 21 September 2015 02:58 PM

    Definitly a a pimp or a drug dealer tying to sell something to this tourist.Hope the useless cops catch him and equally useless pimps in the courts jail him.

    Enjoy your stay in the land like no other.
