What can one do when you get a double dose of the 3rd degree.

Sri Lankan Monday, 05 October 2015 04:17 PM

And the Sri Lanka Police too

ram Monday, 05 October 2015 04:36 PM

Good one!

seya Monday, 05 October 2015 05:17 PM

it is not seems like, it is known truth. The police need proper training like armies are trained. also need to be educated with human rights and latest technology etc

haritha Monday, 05 October 2015 05:20 PM

The whole village is gonna confess to the crime before the police is done with this. Scotland yard should take a leaf out of our police force.

Raj Monday, 05 October 2015 05:20 PM

is it the Family or the POLICE?

Mason Monday, 05 October 2015 05:58 PM

The Police never had any credibility in the first instance to lose it !!

Namal Monday, 05 October 2015 01:03 PM

If this happens in MR era, there will be no such problems. That school boy might have killed already while searching guns. This good governance clowns ridiculing our police force.

Nihal Gurusinghe Tuesday, 06 October 2015 02:23 AM

Only In Sri Lanka.The best Crime Investigation in the World.

Ruwani Tuesday, 06 October 2015 03:29 AM

Lets think ather way? front of all the body punshmenť. Every body say they have done this. but reality who is the killer. .? police dog only went tru the room and body place. litle seya underwear found in the bed.so Family member like grand father must go for DNA test. any boye freind of seya mother. ? after having all the DNA test suspect must be arrest. like inspector colombo film.

Melvin Tuesday, 06 October 2015 08:07 AM

That is why there is a court system where only a judge can impose the death penalty..

Possibly ? Tuesday, 06 October 2015 08:08 AM

Why do you say "possibly" ? . There is no doubt of photographing (not the face ! ), and arm twisting (literally) in all instances of police inquiry.

Rabbits ? Tuesday, 06 October 2015 08:17 AM

Rabbits ? - confessions are coming due to "man handling" (not by female constables) of "personal effects ! "

hitler Tuesday, 06 October 2015 09:26 AM

CSI crime investigation sri lanka a lot more awaits with the cops

surasena Tuesday, 06 October 2015 03:32 PM

Our police is so efficient that even a "Bear may confess as a Rabbit"; like in the old folk story.

Wildwine Monday, 05 October 2015 11:19 AM

I thought Kondaya also confessed. Now it appears his brother has confessed.I will not be surprised if Kondayas neighbor and his brother confesses next.

Premalal Monday, 05 October 2015 01:02 PM

The Pink Panther would have done a better job. The IGP should accept responsibility and resign.

Leonard Monday, 05 October 2015 12:41 PM

Police is loosing credibility. This is what happen when police instead of conducting proper investigation force suspects to confess.

Amaya Monday, 05 October 2015 12:29 PM

Kondaya said he confessed only because he was afraid of the cops.

Pissu martin Monday, 05 October 2015 12:12 PM

I wonder who will confess next to the same crime. Confessions are coming out like rabbits out of the hat for the Police.

public Monday, 05 October 2015 12:12 PM

This is not only a joke but a travesty of justice.

Nihal DR Monday, 05 October 2015 12:05 PM

possibly was tortured by the police to get a confession like they did to the school boy and the other suspects. It seems the SL system is not adequate/professional enough to conduct an investigation!

SureshP Monday, 05 October 2015 11:55 AM

How many people does it take to screw a light bulb?

Maya Monday, 05 October 2015 11:52 AM

Police credibility gone away with DNA test. What is now?

Confesion Monday, 05 October 2015 11:49 AM

Will MR - NR - GR - BR confess to CID of all their wrong doing with WW along Johny for the last 5 years or so

ANTON Monday, 05 October 2015 11:40 AM

NOT LIKE POLICE, CID IS DOING A GOOD JOB.

Namal Monday, 05 October 2015 11:40 AM

More people are eager to confess due to the loving kindness of the police..

tomy30ab Monday, 05 October 2015 11:39 AM

Why all these confession stuff when the crime can be simply solved by the DNA test

Goliwog Monday, 05 October 2015 11:37 AM

The result of a very inefficient police. How can the death penalty be imposed ? No way!

DHA Monday, 05 October 2015 11:23 AM

Looks like the entire family is sick....
