    If this is proven to be true hang them in public!

    Don't worry. Eventually, the culprits will be released without any charges. It may not come as a surprise if the innocent victim becomes the accused!

    Dhaya Thursday, 09 April 2020 03:25 PM

    Barbarians, hang them. They are threat to the society. Imagine, a politician being a rapist and what they are going to teach the society. PS to Provincial council then to Parliament. We can imagine the level of people we are electing to take care of us, rapists, thugs, fraudsters who loots our hard earned tax money. Change is needed from the voters.

    During these difficult times, and even in desperate situations , when certain people do not get the promised help/assistance assured by the government, women are exposed and are exploited by these blagards, who may even deny or loot the aid and precipitate such a situation. Even certain police personnel be supporters, allowing false entries and even by death threats. Other crimes too, according to news, have increased.

    Mohamed Ifaz Friday, 10 April 2020 09:06 AM

    This is not an unfortunate incident as Namal Rajapaksa MP stated. On the contrary, this is an inhuman heinous crime commited against an innocent girl. Look at them, they abused this girl over a period of three months. Are they humans or beasts in human's clothing? So, all the notorious criminals and their parliament accomplices must be executed to safeguard our country.

    Pohottu boys will be boys.

    Paala Friday, 10 April 2020 09:21 AM

    We have past notorious experience with former MR regime, which led to dislodge them from power such as Tanglla rape

    Paala Friday, 10 April 2020 12:57 PM

    We have past notorious experience with previous MR regime which led to dislodge that government,we have Gota government as fair for all

    Gratiaen Hewa Friday, 10 April 2020 02:01 PM

    They are sex perverts! This type of cases should be given priority and experienced prosecutors should be appointed to handle this case in Courts and finalise it without least delay.
