    This guy turned in to a ganster/Criminal for political reasons. it is normal that in SL politics, u need to have thugs & criminals to run the show. Now I wonder what will Happen to his young Wife (arnd 36) & his Three kids who is all Girls aged 16, 14 & 10. I wonder if they will be taken care by the Govmnt..

    suwimal Thursday, 23 September 2010 04:41 AM

    You said it!

    sira Thursday, 23 September 2010 04:11 AM

    what right? To kill innocents. This is how the punishment should be made as one cannot expect justice from the legal authorities.

    willows Thursday, 23 September 2010 04:06 AM

    In a way this is good, but couldlead to unfair treatment as well.

    Gamaya Thursday, 23 September 2010 03:33 AM

    Some of these people who have comented seem to live in the stone age. The world has passed that era long long ago and now we are in a more legalized and civilized society. This society does not (not yet in this country but) kill people just because they have killed others. There is a formal way of handling such situations and democracy of all is protected, though these things are not familiar to majority of voters in this country. Probably Sri Lanka is still in the stone age. ooooooops.

    Gamaya Thursday, 23 September 2010 03:26 AM

    Rajitha is correct. There is a system in place to try any criminal. If the police cant prove it that is their problem. Whatever happens the judiciary system must not be bypassed. Only people have brains can understand this long term catastrophe.

    Gamaya Thursday, 23 September 2010 03:24 AM

    Yes yes this same police killed two youths in Angulana and many others in side the police also. Wait till this good work come searching for you.

    Gamaya Thursday, 23 September 2010 03:23 AM

    You expect the police to decide whether anybody is innocent or not? then you better expect pigs to fly also.

    M.ASHRAFF NAZIM Thursday, 23 September 2010 03:14 AM

    UNDERWORLD CULTURES WILL HAVE TO BE TOTALLY ELIMINATED AND WIPED OFF FROM OUR SOIL IRRESPETIVE OF PRTY POLITICS.

    ajith Thursday, 23 September 2010 03:02 AM

    Yes, of course...!!!! A great social service.

    TPB Thursday, 23 September 2010 12:51 AM

    You are right. This is how even the innocent are terminated, some times with the same excuse.

    dx Wednesday, 22 September 2010 05:32 AM

    same old story...

    Punchi Putha Wednesday, 22 September 2010 01:10 PM

    Is this to cover up the sins of higher-ups? Suddenly underworld leaders are trying to escape and being killed.

    walapalam Wednesday, 22 September 2010 10:22 AM

    well done police clean the underworld and criminals
    oh sorry not all the criminals

    Oyage sudu kella Wednesday, 22 September 2010 09:56 AM

    Well done. good job.

    Above the crowd Wednesday, 22 September 2010 08:01 AM

    Congrats S L Police ,Get them one by one.

    Rajitha Wednesday, 22 September 2010 07:56 AM

    this isn't good. who'd given the police the authority to murder even if the murdered is a criminal? only the judiciary system is eligible to make a judgement on a person.

    bad guys have rights.

    Priya Wednesday, 22 September 2010 07:12 AM

    good work. All The best sri lanka great police

    Jeeva Wednesday, 22 September 2010 06:37 AM

    Bakamoona Wednesday, 22 September 2010 06:06 AM

    As long as innocents are not killed, public will support the police. Well done.
