This is absurd. If he's sentence to death, why not let him die? Now we are wasting more public money as hospital expenses.

+ Even though people are sentenced to death, they are not killed in our country. They are kept in prison, for life!

Yes, that's why this man opted to execute this verdict by himself and not to prolong his sentence.

Yes only the good innocent people are killed like dogs in Lankan Streets
