The Department of Prisons has received the document related to a presidential pardon for Royal Park murder convict Jude Shramantha Anthony Jayamaha.

A spokesman for the department said that Shramantha, who was at the Kuruwita Prison, had left the prison this evening.

Recently, President Maithripala Sirisena said his attention has been drawn towards a request made by Royal Park murder convict Shramantha Jude Anthony Jayamaha's party seeking a presidential pardon.

The court imposed the death sentence on Shramantha in 2012 over the 2005 murder of Swedish national Yvonne Johnson at the Royal Park Condominium.

End of term drama continues?. Sincerely he should serve at least 13 more years to get pardon of any form. What a shame.

Shame on you President. A cold blooded murderer is being pardon by non other than the person who is responsible to safeguard the justice.

A murderer has been set free by MY3. This is his saying thank you to us? After this foolish and selfish act, the society will be less safe.

Dear Mr. President, Your duties and obligations to the nation is to make our lives better and safer and not to pardon convicted murderers and insult our justice system. This pervert took an innocent life and should rightly rot in jail or hang for what he did. Why don’t you first ask the parents and family of this innocent girl he brutally killed what they think should happens to this animal and would you do the same if it was your daughter that he killed.
