    Where else in the world can you get this type of granting of bail. Now watch how the case gets dragged

    Gayan Tuesday, 09 January 2018 07:39 PM

    When the main withness confirm in court that his original statement was manupilated what else the court can do. No need to drag this case just drop the charges and close the case.

    Mr Facts Tuesday, 09 January 2018 01:57 PM

    Which means no case was proved. Cooked up witnesses.

    Gayan Tuesday, 09 January 2018 07:36 PM
