    That's no surprise. Politicians behind the scene. So its very obvious we have two laws in the country what ever you may try to say.

    Slowly but surely the country is crumbling.

    Lawless Lanka. Any other country considers an offence such as this murder a non bailable offence whereby the perpetrator is sentenced to life imprisonment. But Sri Lanka as usual, has a joke of a justice system. Corrupted to the brim.
