Sure it is an alcohol / drug related accident.
Glory to the Ranaviru, hope GR Govt will give the guys a state funeral with 21 gun salute.
Stupid moron, are you the medical authority, the judge, and the jury here?
Obviously Sri Lankan forces and Ranavirus mean nothing to your type of anti-SL scumbag, likely because you are a separatist or a jihadist uh?
We patriotic Sri Lankans, and yes proudly speaking, we the proud Sinhalese patriots, we do mourn the loss of our dear Ranaviru brothers/sons here and will never think of making frivolous and malicious comments about an unfortunate incident such as this about them.
Dear Ms. Esmee Ferananndo, So, you already passed a judgement and gave the verdict. You have stated that this is drug related and has to also with alcohol! I am afraid you are ‘jumping the gun’ here.
