A sailor committed suicide after he shot a female sailor at the Trincomalee Naval anchorage a short while ago, the police said.

The reason is still unknown but it is believed that a personal dispute may have led to the incident. (Sanath Desmond and Amadoru Amarajeewa)

Where is our society heading? There isn't a single day without a murder, rape, robbery, embezzlement, accident, being reported in the news. You name it we have it. I so want to listen to A Little Good News by Ann Murray at times like this.

THIS IS KILLING SOLDIERS WHO ARE REPORTED FOR WAR CRIMES

Numerous incidents of resorting to violence and killing over disputes show that they suffer from post traumatic stress after the end of the war. May be in need of counselling.

After the end of the war all of them are bored as they dont have no one to shoot at, so now they've started shooting eachother. Classic!!
