A ten year old boy was taken into police custody today for allegedly setting fire to a house in Matara after being instigated by a woman to do so in exchange for a pet rabbit.

Investigations by the Matara police revealed that the woman had instigated the boy to burn down the house as an act of revenge on a man who was allegedly involved in murdering her son-in-law after he was killed in a recent clash between two groups in Matara.

The woman, who was also taken into custody along with the minor, had told the child she would give him a pet rabbit if she set fire to the man’s house.

Matara police are conducting further investigations. (Daily Mirror online)

Even a kid in SL is like a politician.

In my eyes, the 'woman' represents politicians; the 'kid' represents all supporters; and, the 'rabbit' represents the minute benefits offered to them. This is exactly what's happening in this country! Politicians manipulate everyone and everything!

"Arrest all rabbits! Rabbits are the main cause of this crime! If there were no rabbits, the boy would not have asked for one, from this woman!" - King Kekille.
