Depicts the sad state of Sri Lanka society in all walks of life. A country dominated by thugs. We have had enough of "Yahapalanaya". Bring back rule of law. This brings back memories of the Sri Lanka cricketers in the 60s., the likes of Anura Tennakoon, Mike Thesera, Bandu Polonowita, Kehel etc all from nice families.

This killing culture and state thuggery was started by those who operated white vans and killer gangs to attack political opponents and dissenting journalists. Unfotunat

Manel, the killing culture and use of thugs in politics was first introduced to politics by then UNP leaders in late 70's onwards

In reality Sri Lanka has one of the lowest gun related murder rates in the World
Alfred Grero Friday, 25 May 2018 02:39 PM
You seem disappointed that we are one of the lowest. Man, don't we have enough on a daily basis ?

Gota is back and back with a contract murder
D. M. Jayaweera Friday, 25 May 2018 10:35 AM
Gota is only back in action with the white van.

Absolutely correct, bcos he made it the culture of the State to perpetrate criminality.
Mandy Friday, 25 May 2018 10:48 AM
No - only white van culture.
BuffaloaCitizen Friday, 25 May 2018 09:37 AM
This is the repercussion of the 30 year war in the north that created State Criminality on the Tamils which is now getting equal criminality on the Sinhalese by the Sinhalese. This will never get eradicated as the system itself is State Criminalized.

My3, please appoint Field Marshall Sarath Fonseks as the Minister In Charge of Law and Order, without any further delay.
nanda Friday, 25 May 2018 03:20 PM
For what? To practice the old habit again?
seba Friday, 25 May 2018 05:53 PM
Have you forgotten the batalande culture which is making a comeback again.
Gihan Friday, 25 May 2018 07:52 PM
All those who supported drug dealers in the past by giving political patronage and political positions are responsible for these deaths.
Suneth Perera Saturday, 26 May 2018 09:18 AM
This government should take responsibility and give up the power calling an general and presidential election. They came into power to close chapter of killing people like this. This is ridiculous.
