    IF THEY WERE JAILED IN 2002 , THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN RELEASED SIX YEARS AGO.

    Death is the right punishment.victims can get aids if rapist have aids.

    das Wednesday, 20 June 2018 02:29 PM

    Not really. Rape is not as serious as murder for example. I am not condoning rape in any way, but the punishment should suit the crime.

    Alfred Grero Wednesday, 20 June 2018 03:06 PM

    Or mutilate his criminal organ as a deterrent to other prospective offenders.

    Siri de Alwis Wednesday, 20 June 2018 01:31 PM

    It took 16 years to give this verdict. what a country.

    Roy Wednesday, 20 June 2018 01:32 PM

    Not enough

    What a funny judicial system..took 16 years to bring justice to the innocent child...

    joshua Wednesday, 20 June 2018 01:41 PM

    justice 16 years after they committed the crime. Must be a record by any standards.

    lal Wednesday, 20 June 2018 02:16 PM

    This is a good example, how judicial system of SL works. 16 years all lawyers sucked money and blood from both sides, and nothing left, the verdict given.

    Aducting and gang raping an under age girl, it should be death sentence and nothing less. Castrate the men who were found guilty.Any female will agree, killing is better than raping.Too lenient judgement.

    cut their head of the next min their proved of rape

    This is a contract business where both the criminal and the victim has to pay the law makers which is their bread and butter.
