The appeal against the conviction of death sentence on Shramantha Jayamaha who was found guilty of murdering Yvonne Johannson at Royal Park in 2005 was rejected and the decision of the Court of Appeal was reaffirmed by the Supreme Court today.

The three judge bench headed by Justice Saleem Marsoof and comprised Justice Sathya Hettige and Justice S. Sripavan refused granting special leave against the conviction filed by Jayamaha.

Legal analysts said that this is the end of the legal proceedings of the case as there is no further recourse available to the Defendant. ( Hafeel Farisz)

    Just punishment for a vicious murder that he committed.

    Will take 8 years to get an verdict. But the suspect will be free till then to do what he knows best.

    Why don't you join the the government and contest for the next election, definitely you will be free. Once you become a MP or Minister thereafter you get license to kill people and Rape.

    You did it and pay the penalty. You believed that your money can do anything. You deserve nothing better to this.

    jamalji Wednesday, 23 October 2013 08:52 AM

    In consideration of his age and curcumstances under which this incidence took place, he would receive reprieve from H.E.

    A.F.A.Cader Wednesday, 23 October 2013 08:44 AM

    According to Sri Lanka Standard, conviction in 8 years is fairly quick.

    ANTONapantonperera@g Tuesday, 22 October 2013 10:40 AM

    LAW IS LIKE RUBBER, CAN BE STRETCHED TO ANY LENGTH ONE DESIRE.
