Drug addicts? One speculation about Mr. Faraz Shauketaly shooting is that it had something to do with an article(s) by Mr. Shauketaly on narcotics use within SL prisons.

Oh! its look like the same people who assasinate the suday leader's Lasantha. I think if you ask from Mr Gotabaya he will tell you who are the culprits. Mr IGP do think that Sri Lankan people are fools?
