    14 days not enough. It should be 14 years for this fox who tried to imitate a lion.

    While this boy is guilty no doubt as he has pleaded so, it will do the justice system a lot of good if all mobile phones and sims inside cells for drug operations murders etc are also tracked and confiscated. Looks very biased and vindictive if not.

    What a joke!! and is beyond words. Sri Lanka has become far too dependent on CHINA and us Sri Lankans living overseas are gutted that our beautiful and peaceful country has come to the level where the masses/majority are suffering, but no more in silence. Looks like Sri Lanka is leaning to the China dictatorship and their own rule of law, what a come down. The Masses wait patiently until the Lord works a miracle in his time, not ours. Amen Disgusted

    Please probe religious angle.

    It looks like there is an attempt to run a parallel government in this country. One set of rules for us citizens, but a different set of rules to lap dogs of the corrupted ruling class. Gota was keen to implement One Country One law, but it seems One country No Law.

    Shows the standards of the people who support these idiotic criminals. Dolly

    If he is a politician, no doubt that he has many privileges including mobile phones.

    Arnold Friday, 05 August 2022 07:57 AM

    I thought with racism has subsided in the recent times. But reading the above comments it sure is alive and kicking. Sorry but if Lankans still choose to go down this road Lanka has no future!!

    Everything free Friday, 05 August 2022 08:07 AM

    Education, Health care, Uniform, school lunch and Aragalaya meals are all free in Sri Lanka. So, it is one more item i.e. free TV time at Govt. TV station to spread their destructive propaganda at Public expense. What a country to live in? Next they will want a free brothel as well!

    If he was a politician, he would have the best of facilities inside prison. Bribe the Prison Authorities, Phones, Special Meals - nothing would be wrong Sadly he is not one of the privileged so even if he does the same things as a Politician, it will be "Wrong" Justice for some, not for others
