Suspects arrested with ‘smoking guns’. They should be tried and maximum sentences should be delivered.
It is sad to hear a killing of a such a majestic animal. Those who found guilty of a such a mean act should be shot dead,
Of course, the Tusker is more important than the Ruggerite and the Journalist who were killed by known persons!
Dear Niranjala Keerthi, I hope I got your name right. Yahapalanaya came to power promising investigation on Thajudeen & Eknaligoda. The big question is why none was arrested and punish so far? Remember it is 2 and half years after coming to power. Yes, in a country where biodiversity is compromised to make a way for a mono-ethnic settlements (13,000 acres in protected zones in Villpatthuwa), Killing two Tuskers within three weeks is pea-nuts!!
Well said, Kneeranjala, Sinhala Buddhist values, mate !
