Evidence can be manipulated and window dressed in SL easily.

One thing is clear, he WAS murdered and by the very high ups at that. However; orchestration of the investigation seems politically motivated. Perpetrators should be made accountable.

Where is Balasuriya ? He is the fish which we have to arrest and investigate. This all happened during his period , that's why they sent him as the ambassador to UAE ? There should be someone who could reveal the full odeal even of lasantha's murder
