Joke. Clearly there is a bigger story with the creeping into the cemetery with short eats. There will a push now to suppress the reals story coming out. Not easy in the day of social media but money talks.

Will this go to history books as another mysterious murder similar to Thajudeen case?

In Sri Lanka, if a crime isn't solved, especially a serious crime like murder, it means that someone powerful is behind it. It's as simple as that.

If the culprits are not found , don't be surprised. This may go in the way that some former killings like that of Lasantha, Thajudeen, Raviraj , Eknelgoda were left unsolved.

The crime has still not been solved. However people can take satisfaction by listening to the POLICE SPOKESMAN TALDUWA 's boast made regularly about the Statements Recorded from umpteen persons, Umpteen Teams sent to catch the suspects Umpteen CCTV Camera Records being studied etc.

Reza is right, creeping in to the cemetery with short eats wasn't a coincidence, probably had been happening for quite some time, some hanky panky led to a murder. Seeing the professor with the dog making me to think so many things.

Sometimes solving crimes takes time. You can't arrest anyone and everyone. However, the CID has a track record of being market leaders in unsolved crimes (the high profile ones).

Bring back Shani to CID , he will be the best honest person to find the culprits.

Might as well take a little longer and get the facts right. Arresting the wrong people would not bring justice to the victim and his family.

By now, haven't we learned how mysteries have been solved here in SL. It's no mystery that this mystery too will be added to so many other unsolved mysteries. It will remain a mystery!

Publishing the investigation results only gives tip offs as to progress, to the culprits....... but then that is what happens these days...... media gives sustenance to the killers...... but sometimes the cops are a step ahead and laying Traps for know-all crims........ let's hope so.

It seems CID is also considering the possibility of suicide. Remember the 'Sathasivam' case. It was proved that Mrs. Sathasivam was killed by a 'Wangediya' and the accused was acquitted. . Considering the performance of CID, the quality of prosecutors, political interference, and the Judiciary system, it is not necessary to have a lawyer of the calibre of Dr. Colvin R de Silva but an ordinary lawyer will be able to convince the courts that Mr. Schaffter was not murdered and it was the wire around the neck of Mr . Schaffter's caused his death and not by an action of human beings.

Rugby Player Thajudeen’s Murderer is well known to the entire nation. It is not a Mistory. Until the Central Bank Bond Scam is resolved , Ranil should not have been allowed to accept any Government positions.They say ,Schaffter knew every thing about the Central Bank Bond Scam.

Namal should not be allowed to engage in active politicks, untill Thajudeen’s murder case is resolved.

One conclusion from this and other unsolved murders is that when high profile killers are involved, the murders will remain as a mistry.

This is reminiscent of the matchstick story presented by the then minister in charge of the police when bombs were found inside a church. Our police force is so effective and so efficient.

It is insane to think it is suicide. You can't strangle yourself even if you try hard. My guess is the killer held clorophom to make him unconscious. While strangling he will not know if he died because victim will not struggle. So the incomoete job. Hand tie and wire matching home wire could lead to a known person. The killer is not stupid so plants misleading info.
