How many times? How many murders? Why can't the uniformed personnel in Sri Lanka shed that third world mentality of empty (pus) pride when they get into a uniform and think no end of themselves instead of thinking that they are servants of the people, paid by the people. Yahapalana Govt. really ought to send all found guilty home, prohibiting them from ever taking a Govt. job IF they ever get out of jail for murder.

Another act of arrogance, impunity and State Terrorism on her own citizens.

They could have escaped if it is not the time for the UN session in March.

There are some barbarians still in the police service who should be promptly identified and weeded out to uphold the excellent services of many kind hearted officers
