Bodies of four persons were found by the Poddala police in Walpitawatta, Galle this morning, Police said.

The bodies of four youth were found in a culvert after being shot and hacked to death by a rival underworld gang in the Poddala area in Galle early.

Police believe the killing was linked to the on October 25 killing of Kumara Senerviratne who was hacked to death in the Galle town allegedly by the victims.

The four bodies were found near by-road leading to a tea estate and the Poddala- Galle main road. The bodies were found lying on top of each other with their hands and legs bound. They were also blindfolded.

Police Headquarters said the four victims were wanted over the death of Kumara Senerviratne and also for taking away his gold chain.

48-year-old Senerviratne was the brother of slain Galle Municipal Council Opposition Leader Dushyantha Senerviratne who was killed in 2009 by an underworld gang. (Supun Dias)

    There is serious crime taking place in Wellawatte. There are a string of robberies taking place by rogues breaking into homes in the night & the police are still unable to arrest anyone. According to residents about 7 robberies in the last 10 days. Can DM please look into this?

    Here again Sri Lankans are hoodwinked. The news is spread that they are criminals/gangsters, implying that it is a blessing to the society that they were eradicated. Yet, where is the RULE OF LAW? Even a common criminal or a mass murder is to be given a fair trial and Justice is to be served ...should not be left rotten in the wayside..there are lovers of dogs..(and lovers of cattle) not even dogs/cattle are made to suffer like this..

    If there is good governance in the country, the subjects will have peace and prosperity. Unfortunately our mother country lacks the good governance and the future looks very bleak.

    Nodrog Sunday, 04 November 2012 04:32 AM

    These barbarians should be left alone to kill one another off. Saves us the expense of maintaining them in prison and time in courts.

    Return bout of the man whose hands and legs were chopped in broad daylight a couple of days ago, perhaps. Huh, the "Thrice Blessed Country" now gone to the two legged dogs, thanks to politics.

    Piranha Sunday, 04 November 2012 06:57 AM

    When the underworld has political patronage what do you expect? The country has gone to the dogs under the Maharajah's rule. The rot continues unabated. Keep supporting the Maharajah and see where you end up in the end.

    sarath Sunday, 04 November 2012 07:49 AM

    greek....those who voted for this administration must take the responsibility.

    patriot Sunday, 04 November 2012 08:06 AM

    Killing has become a way to settle scores in Sri Lanka. No law and order. No discipline and the country is going to the dogs.

    unchikun Sunday, 04 November 2012 08:48 AM

    Just a reminder, dogs do not kill each other. The country is going to humans.

    Fair N Square Sunday, 04 November 2012 08:53 AM

    education alone wont help. Foundations need to be right.. Parents need to lead as an example..

    Wonder what happened to the phrase "It takes a village to bring up a child"
