Capital punishment will not help. Build a law abiding society and lead by example.

-10+11 # Silva De Mervin 2012-09-07 18:58

Agreed.

Capital punishment did not reduce violence in the US.

The law should be allow free hand to take it cause and that is the best politicians can do to improve the situation.

-2+6 # Lobo 2012-09-08 07:25

Of course it does, take Singapore as an example. Don't compare us with the US because percentage-wise they are definitely much lower than us.

Lobo,

In Singapore, the law is allowed a full free hand and so capital punishment is just an extra.

A minister was about to be arrested by the Police for taking bribes. He ran to Lee Kean Yew, the father and the first PM.

The minister was told by LKY, 'Young man, you have two choices: commit suicide or go to jail.

The minister committed suicide next day. LKY has warned his cabinet and also got a pay rise of 100% to all to stay away from wrong doing.

Ah, that is why it is doing well, my friend.

He must have played out some client. Most lawyers do this through greed for money. Otherwise, no reason for such drastic action.

-0+33 # Jeevan 2012-09-07 12:09

May be it is due to the greed of the lady too!

-4+4 # sarath 2012-09-08 06:43

dont say all say some. you dont know the pain that is taken by lawyers to justify the fee. there are rots in every field of professions in particular but there are more in the society in gereral.

What happens when thieves fall out?

Lawyer hacked to death Athurugiriya, doctor assaulted and hospitalised Anuradhapura, other reports of tourist been killed not so long ago down South and girl friend raped, there seems to be a severe breakdown in the law and order situation.
Sri Lanka don't worry about what others are saying about such matters, ask yourself the question is it safe for me.You will get the right answer.

A society that elects criminal leaders deserve what is coming.

Lets see whether the police can catch the murderers , i believe they are well capable of catching the speedy three wheelers and poor road hookers.

-5+73 # Manik 2012-09-07 11:00

Police will catch the murderers if they are not connected to politicians. Otherise ?????

-5+13 # Normal Citizen 2012-09-07 12:16

Lost his life also. May he rest in peace.

-4+77 # Naleer 2012-09-07 12:05

One and only way " death penalty "

-80+16 # lankalion 2012-09-07 13:26

death penalty is not the way. People won't stop committing crimes because the penalty is severe. A penalty of life in prison or 20 years in prison is worse for someone who committed a crime as it is a lifetime of torture. Crime free or low crime societies are a result of the effectiveness of the rule of law. The biggest deterrent to someone not committing a crime is the chance of getting caught. For that you need an effective justice system and the rule of a law. A police that spends its resources in catching real criminals rather than browsing through the internet figuring out which porn sites to block or going through our parks to arrest teenagers kissing and holding hands!

-3+78 # Nihal 2012-09-07 14:44

Life- sentence has NEVER been a deterrent, because the criminal is kept alive and is provided for by the very society that he/she has violated. Look at every single country that has done away with the death penalty and adopted "life imprisonment" - USA, UK etc. The criminal also knows that if he is able to convince the legal system that he has repented and changed his ways he can be paroled!! We need to look at the issue intelligently.

Who said crime wave. this is daily occurrence. National sport of Sri-Lanka Killing Human beings.

Our life is not safe in Sri Lanka.

Everyday i read news of someone being murdered, abducted or sexually abused. Sri Lanka, Wonder of Asia

-2+51 # rohan 2012-09-07 13:26

i like the thread on "national sport of sri lanka". But remember that some people decided to valiantly protest when goats were lined up for slaughter in a religious festival. Are goats more valuable than humans in sri lanka?

-1+29 # gowravi 2012-09-07 14:04

They have the girl with them. Pls take care of the girl.

-1+42 # Nihal 2012-09-07 14:39

This is horrendous to say the least. We have had 18 murders from the 1st of August to date!! We cannot understand why proper punitive measures have not been implemented by the Government to stop SL becoming a "Killing field".

-0+3 # kingasanga 2012-09-07 18:29

don't blame to country & our people. as you know 10% of animal living with human here. so, compare with other nations.

-1+6 # Bonda 2012-09-07 18:50

Wht a hue and cry for the slaughter of animals as sacrifice, Come on Sri Lankans make a bigger noise for slaughter of humans. We all know these comments will not have that much of an impact on the citizens

-4+6 # Lanka Atapattu 2012-09-07 19:25

We Need gallows!!!!

-0+1 # mervyn perera 2012-09-07 20:01

No third degree methods to be used against any suspect. This is what all lawyers are clamouring for their clients.Let the law take its normal course. Why should u bring in the hangman just because the lawyer is killed. They are the whole time fleecing clients and saving murderers.

-1+1 # DENGU 2012-09-07 22:03

killing human is not big issue in lanka, better talking about something new

-1+2 # ceylon 2012-09-07 22:08

Our Sri Lankans have lost values and dignity due to greed and corruption. No punishment will resolve till Sri Lankans change.

-2+1 # JJ 2012-09-07 22:56

this all sign's to shows that world end is so soon. that why day by day all these kind of things increase gradually ,

-4+3 # Fair N Square 2012-09-07 23:35

it could be KARMA making a pay back. Sadly MOST lawyers are professional liars... and make their living by squeezing out their clients. May be there are some who feel sympathy towards the feeble and destitute. Wonder if we have a legal aid system that helps the poor who cannot afford high fees that the lawyers demand...

-0+1 # Rasa 2012-09-08 02:58

Why ask for capital punishment, he has already received what he desearved

-4+1 # percy 2012-09-08 04:25

Time for all the briefless lawyers to go on strike!! Do we know that the fate that befell this lawyer was something arising from his own life and actions?? There are many idiots who rush to condemn a murder even in circumstances where the deceased deserved to die.

-1+3 # perera 2012-09-08 04:47

mervyn silva and jhu will come out protesting about human murdets?

-1+3 # murder 2012-09-08 08:27

-2+1 # Dalu Banda 2012-09-08 19:34

Unfortunately, this lawyer was not families with "Para Bhava Suutraya " and not followed the basic principals of Buddhism. The cause for his personnel tragedy is clearly stated in the " "Holy Suutra"
