Baduth Hamuduruwange, Naduth Hamuduruwange. Mineemaruwa eliye, Ahinsakayek kotuwei.
Reports elsewhere on the web indicate the same weapon was used to injure (and kill) the two key persons involved in this incident.
This fact gives credence to my conspiracy theory; I am totally convinced this incident was driven by a hidden hand aimed at maiming the progressive steps being taken by GOSL.
Lat us wait for more evidence and more arrests instead of speculating.

Nicholas Dias,
How long you can wait. Is there any cases were found out by our police. It is a waste of time.
Amden Oyavidiyataliwwata kamak neha. ketha Katha nethiwa, Mama hamuduruwo kiyala keewe Singhalemma kudu Dumindata,
MR must have known Bharatha and kudu Duminda were enemies. BP is from Kolonnawa. MR appointed kudu duminda as chief organiser in Kolonnawa for the LG elections. MR invited trouble. How cras stupid! MR is therefore indirectly responsible for BP death. When is he going to have the backbone to get rid of the few other ministerial thugs in his govt and their privte armies of thugs? We are sick of these thugs.
I hope kudu Duminda never wakes up. He should suffer for life and in life hereafter.
Two MP posts will be vacant now. At the side elections UNP and JVP will have an opportunity to creep in.
