In the public best interest. Best to be without drug dealers in the country.

The whole country knows the story behind the killing.My worry is that the opponents of the government may be bump off in the same manner. This happened in 80 during 2 JVP insurrection.

Police are no saints. After the suspect victim collapsed, Police would have recovered his fire arm where his finger prints could be found. The cartridges or the casing of the bullets fired by both sides must be around. Let us see how the Police would complete the investigation
