These women have asked for trouble. They are not innocents.

Problem is the Sinhalese think all western women are hard up like them for sex. In the west, being friends is not an invitation for sex. A western women will complain if she is sexually molested, but local women will not do that due to shame and worse problems when Police thugs get involved.

Though tape is bad. But these western women need to know that allowing any man in a hotel room after being drunk is not a good idea….whether Srilankan or other nationality man

Gota needs dollars, while locals are hungry for sex.

Shit, our people have started behaving like Indians.. These type of people need to be taught a lesson in a hard way rather than releasing them on Bail.

How come the victims father is a Sri Lankan national ? Is she a Sri Lankan origin ?
Ranaweera Tuesday, 08 February 2022 06:12 PM
This must be a woman with Sri Lankan roots. May be they were living together and now the woman wants revenge.
Kirsten Andersen, Denmark Tuesday, 08 February 2022 06:53 PM
To BuffeloaCitizen: thank you. You are perfectly right.

The suspects must be cousins of the gun toting mayor notorious of Hambantota fame.

To Ranaweera: Shame on you! What if it was your daughter.
Banda Tuesday, 08 February 2022 06:55 PM
Nice.That is how we going to bring more tourists to this country. Now politicians must order to release these culprits. If there is no law and order in the country for female tourists to walk freely, no one should travel to that hororland.

Tangalle is a very famous place for these types of crimes.Tourists respect Sri Lankans as human beings with polite and humble attitudes but our people take the advantage of it.
Geetanjali Tuesday, 08 February 2022 10:57 PM
@ Hatim , don't bring India subject here.Solve your problem by yourself.
Sammy Tuesday, 08 February 2022 11:41 PM
Hatim A. S. what do you mean like Indians? Is this something new in Sri Lanka? Does it not happen all over the world?
Fernando Tuesday, 08 February 2022 11:48 PM
I have seen young local boys travelling with foreign women all over the island. Such women are not Angeles. They arrange everything through internet before coming to SL. They hire a young boy to accompany them throughout their stay. Women who may be in their sixties share the same room with boys in their twenties. One hotel owner in Kandy, said that those boys are called deal kollo. Looks like the Germans have given all the wrong signals.

Typical Sri Lankan Sinhalese sex starved !! They think just because the westerners are friendly it’s an invitation for sex!!
Madampitiya Wednesday, 09 February 2022 10:35 AM
We expect tourism to boost our already weakened economy. This will certainly not help the course. Whom to blame ?
Lasantha de Silva Wednesday, 09 February 2022 11:25 AM
Fernando: this has nothing to do with it. Nationality of women has nothing with it neither. These 2 German women are RAPED.
