The Supreme Court today affirmed the death sentence imposed by the High Court on ex-MP Duminda Silva and two others who were convicted of killing former presidential adviser Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra when the SC took up for hearing the appeal filed by the accused challenging the HC order.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court acquitted the first accused from all charges at this hearing.
Mr. Silva and three others were earlier sentenced to death by the Colombo High Court in 2016 after they were found guilty of the charge of killing Mr. Premachandra and three others in 2011.(Shehan Chamika Silva)

I thought Silva family will have a grand ball...Oh dear! Now the wedding will take place without the brother. Have money or no money, this is indeed a very good lesson for everybody. Nobody is above the law.
Mandy Thursday, 11 October 2018 07:45 PM
And some like G here and cousins U and J are still having a ball overseas..

His only hope now is the return of MR and his cabal!

Yes if a brother comes as President a pardon will definitely be given.
Suman Thursday, 11 October 2018 08:29 PM
Next on the judiciary agenda - death penalty for the Rajapakse brothers.
Shelley Thursday, 11 October 2018 05:12 PM
A certain media at its news bulletingswas repeatedly telling modayas that all the charges were proved incorrect by their lawyers. Aney , see how lawyers take even the educated for rides.
Bala Thursday, 11 October 2018 07:49 PM
It is the media which twisrts everything. The murunga story was fake news. So many others were concocted too.

Now his only hope is for the Rajapakse family to come into power to get him released on a special pardon.

The END result of GREED for POWER and MONEY.

Money and influence cannot speak when the Judiciiary is Independent..Let us see justice continue to roll...
Harini Friday, 12 October 2018 07:52 PM
In SL independent judiciary is dependent on which side of parliament you sit and which side is in power. I am glad DS is going to hang. But SC shouldn't play politics.
Sri Wickrema Thursday, 11 October 2018 06:44 PM
This is one of the murder cases Rajapaksas wanted to sweep under the carpet. Hats off to judiciary.
Labby Thursday, 11 October 2018 06:56 PM
So now get him out of hospital and hang him. Let him be the first after Kalu Albert.
Mandayan Thursday, 11 October 2018 07:05 PM
You too, like Mahinda, hoped that the Maharajah@s rule would be eternal and your only hope is for him to return to the throne.

And why not. He gets the best food yet to his quarters in prison - money talks.

JIff Thursday, 11 October 2018 08:44 PM
Poor JVP cadres who were waiting for Duminda to be released so they can slander the Judiciary, country, Sinhalese people and Buddhism.
kumar Thursday, 11 October 2018 09:34 PM
At last MS has been granted his wish to hang someone.
