A 20-year-old youth and a degree holder were among the interviewees who had come for the interview for Hangman's Post yesterday, a senior prison official told Daily Mirror.
79 candidates from the 102 applicants were selected for interviews for the Hangman's Post. The interviews were scheduled to be held on two days.
There will be an interview today for the rest of 40 candidates.
Prison official said only 19 candidates had come for the interview for the first day, although 39 candidates were called yesterday.
He said the degree holder had completed his degree in Hospitality Management.
“Majority of the interviewees were of the opinion that they wanted to do something for the country and thus applied for this post,” he said.
“They would be selected after undergoing an academic, physical and mental examination,” he added.
The Prisons Department began calling for applications for two hangmen after the President emphasized on several occasions that the death penalty would be implemented on those found guilty of drug-related offences. (Sheain Fernandopulle)

They should undergo an intensive forensic medical training to study about asphyxiation and process of death in hanging. Why can't we introduce lethal medical infusion as an alternative. This will have to be administered by a medical doctor/ specialist anaesthetist.

Death penalty not only for drug dealers , u should implement on users as well. Also, on parents who are into this business. Child abuses ( Sexual), Rapist as well. Hand one or two case . All will be sorted within days.

Why have a hangman? The Gamarala can do it and save the taxpayers money.

as per earlier suggestion best to TEST the snooze on few PMs before the actual hanging!
ANTON Wednesday, 03 April 2019 08:50 AM

20 year old degree holder? How come. Looks like he is another caliber of the Volkswagen company.

The idea of hanging people is practised only by a oppressive regeime not in a civilised society.
