    A very very sad state of affairs in relation to judicial inquiries in Sri Lanka. Release the alledge criminals as you , as Jack Nicolson said, “You ( Sri Lanka ) cannot handle the truth” .

    Whole system not only the judiciary but Police CID prison they are all corrupt not a single person was prosecuted with convincing evidence ... now slowly letting them off and free to go and destroy the hidden evidence. Next thing we know we all have forgotten the case including the media.
