Highly placed sources at the Attorney General's Department said the decision not to re-examine the main witness in the Khuram Shaikh murder trial, Victoria Alexandrona was because there was no necessity to do so, as the witness faced cross examination competently.

"We know how to prosecute and that's our job. The only need for re-examination comes if there is an uncertainty that arises in cross examination but that didn't happen" the source said.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror the source said the Evidence Ordinance specified three stages of evidence, with re- examination not being mandatory.

“The prosecution has taken all A special prosecutor has been appointed and he has years of experience in handling such cases and is highly competent measures to ensure that no stone is left unturned in this case.

The entire World is watching this case. It will prove that there is no law or justice in Sri Lanka if these murderers get away from this murder. Send all those involved in rapes (especially the Tourists) to gallows and show the World we respect the justice.

Knowing Sri Lanka's political system, they will be sentenced to long term imprisonment. They will live like kings in the prison for about 6 months and then they will come out with a special pardon after everyone forgets the trial and get reelected to the pradeshiya sabha.

Please tell. What is the purpose of the pradeshiya sabha. It looks like a safe haven for hooligans.
