Let's not be hypocritical about this, sure lets pray his soul rests in peace but did someone here say "courteous to the bar" ? Then allow me to finish by saying "discourteous and disrespectful to maids and all others" !

I don't feel sorry at all. This man was abusive to his maids and a very bad man. The world is better off without him

Whatever you did good and bad while you were in office, is what you carry to your death bed. May you rest in peace!

If Judge Sarath de Abrew was acquitted from the case against him, it would have been a peaceful death.
