    Strange. Justice is supposed to be dispensed in public. Is this practice good in law.

    Did any judge 'recuse' ?

    In most of the mystery cases, necessary information is available to convict the culprit/s. Only problem is they are not processed properly due to political pressure or money. Only yesterday the president himself said that we should talk to the family or the lawyer of Thajudeen to understand what happened. If the president cannot initiate justice, what hope do we have. We are heading down a steep slope and very fast too.

    Enough is enough. Lasantha was killed in day light near to an army check point. Where is the justice for Lasantha's family. You cannot keep on telling us he was only a tabloid journalists. Lasantha was a great journalist and those who ordered his killing was born to a prostitute mothers.

    first arrest the main mastermind murderer Gotabhaya before arresting anybody else. All the murder cases of the past regime can be solved quickly,

    If it was USA - he will be water boarded - and presto the cases willbe solved

    See the length of time this case has taken to nab the person who killed this well known person. Comparing this to the recent murder of the cricketer's father looks pretty good. I guess it all depends on who is behind the killing.
