Oh my god. Kahawatta is so crazy. It is like the bad neighborhoods in Chicago and Los Angeles. The police must do something. If the Sri Lankan could defeat the Tamil Tigers they should be able to defeat the Kahawatta murders. via DM Android App

Exactly. The victims all being elderly women suggests that the criminal is acting from some psycho-sexual obsession. How can the police say the 'can't find the reason' for this death?

Or is it another murder to cover up the culprit who is already arrested to show that murders do happen even when the culptits. Miracle of Kawatte

There must be a serial killer living in Kahawatta area, oh please police get your ass to work and find the criminal fast

All of Kahawata murders were not the work of a "mysterious, lone" killer. Many of the murders were isolated personal disputes (except for the last 3). . Please dont misinterpret the situation for mere enjoyment!!! The last thing we want to promote in our country is a serial killing spree!

This country will never develop. Economically and culturally both
