How many years this case has taken to deliver a judgement? Even these recent hearings were due to international pressure. Justice delayed is justice denied.

In this corrupt lawless Banana Republic that serve and protect only criminals, all the accused will be found not guilty as the victim KILLED HIMSELF. Anyone proud to be from this Republic???

I'm not surprised if the number one criminal in this case goes free waving at foolish people who are cheering for him.

I used to like this govt after winning the war. But no more. Cases like these over the last few years made us realize that law is on powerful peoples' hands and not with the judge any more.

A young and highly educated man who was to have a bright future, who devoted life for service to others through Red Cross.
