WOULD YOU SAY THE SAME THING IF IT HAPPENED TO ONE OF YOUR RELATIVES? what is your definition to human rights? human rights are there to protect the criminals?

He may be an educated jobless youth. System failure.

If the police are so active the crime rate will go down. Well done police.

Shivanka David Sunday, 18 July 2010 02:33 AM

Good step now the police should find weather he's guilty or not and then take the necessary steps without giving him bail so that he can escape. good move by the SL police

No Chance. The victims are not Tamils

Alakar Saturday, 17 July 2010 07:02 PM

Podi Guru Saturday, 17 July 2010 05:26 PM

She was not a nurse--she was a mid-wife. And is it yet proven that he murdered her??????

Podi Guru Saturday, 17 July 2010 04:31 PM

Hold your horses, young man! it is not yet proven that he murdered those four people. One does not speak of the punishment before the guy is found guilty.

Wasantha Saturday, 17 July 2010 04:15 PM

Being given to understand that he has already made a confession.After committing a barbarian act, no mercy. The legal process should to be accelerated and if found guilty hang him without bluffing.

Farshard Saturday, 17 July 2010 06:50 AM

Yes good move....police

Z Saturday, 17 July 2010 11:22 AM

Great job police...but everyone is innocent until proven guilty...so we'll just wait and see what this guy has to say before passing judgements...

bash Saturday, 17 July 2010 10:35 AM

See that fellow KUDU LAL freely living after massacring a woman and son to death in Kolonnawa. Human rights, yeah

ransam Saturday, 17 July 2010 10:27 AM

take it easy guys, he is still a suspect.

Padikaramaduwa, G Saturday, 17 July 2010 10:12 AM

May be in two places; in your hypothetical world and in the heaven

dave Saturday, 17 July 2010 09:33 AM

Hang him. No sympathy.

Naren Saturday, 17 July 2010 09:24 AM

With an attitude like that you're no different to the guy who murdered that family. capital punishment isnt the answer. there's a reason why we got something called human rights although for many sri lankans it is an alien concept.

The country should be economically developed. social development will follow and then you will have a truly lasting solution to these problems. there are many foreign countries that you could take as examples. but of course the xenophobic fools in SL would know none of this.

RIYADH Saturday, 17 July 2010 09:01 AM

So this man too will be bailed out on Monday same has the Doctor who killed the nurse in jaffna??

PUBLIC Saturday, 17 July 2010 08:50 AM

IQBAL Saturday, 17 July 2010 08:41 AM

Hang him in public. if not, useless of LAW is for the innocents or ppl like SF.

abran Saturday, 17 July 2010 08:21 AM

Hang him.

Padikaramaduwa, G Saturday, 17 July 2010 08:13 AM

No capital punshment, only 5 yrs RI! Human rights deprive the living rights of others!!

rushan Saturday, 17 July 2010 07:40 AM

ajith Saturday, 17 July 2010 06:58 AM
