The main suspect in the killing of a police constable and his wife was shot dead when caught in a cross fire at Massmulla Kamburupitiya, police said.

Police said they shot the suspect in self defence when he had attempted to fire at them after he was taken to a hideout in search of weapons said to have been hidden by the suspect.

The suspect had died on admission to the Kamburupitiya Hospital.

A Police constable and his wife were hacked to death last Saturday night in Kambrupitiya where their two-year-old son injured in the tragedy.

We are sick of hearing this standard storey, which is good only for Konde Bendapu Cheenas

The same story every time. Don't the Police handcuff the suspect when they take into a hideout to search for weapons?

I do not agree with the police action. He should have been put into a trial in court and punish. How many suspects have died of similar nature " while unearthing or showing hidden arms tried to hurl or shot at police". This type of stories not even a 2nd grade student will accept. Don't interpret that I am for the suspect. I am totally against all kinds of destruction and killings. Especially when Sri Lanka's HR issues at a stake we must act wisely.

WEll done Police. Finish off the murderers in this manner as there is no gallows in this holy country. Animals are better off than humans as they idiots to safeguards but none for the innocent specially women and children.

Please finish the other suspect also in same way. Well done Sri Lankan Police. The nation will respect you. Who is going take care that two kids? As a Real Sri Lankan we must help that two kids of the victim family. I kindly request all the Sri Lankans living in abroad to open an account for these kids.

No they dont, so that these things could be made easier. This is a case of revenge - which we are becoming popular for - ably supported and encouraged by the powers that be!

You can't handcuff because they hide firearms in steep hills in deep jungles. They need free limbs for climbing.

Then all of sudden they can point the arms to policemen. Then the police have to kill them.
Story ends.
If not they will be given bail and set free to continue the crimes.

Spot on Sim. The statement by these policemen is not plausible. May be these guys are working hand in glove with the underworld. This action is to obliterate evidence. The policemen who accompanied this suspect should be charged for murder.

Instant justice!!!

Even the cops know that the available loop holes will get the cop killer off the hook, so.....!

The script writer is a joke ! the cop was hacked to death ? then come hidden weapon , a fire arm.

Susil Rajapakshe Monday, 25 November 2013 02:46 AM

All murderers, rapists and drug dealers must be given the instant punishment to stop crimes in this country. I endorsed the police action.
