Very well your honours,

This's a good lesson for the other policemen who r still in service. I'm grateful Your Honours for cutting them to their size. they must know their limitations.

I don't understand this sentence, Death sentence with 40 yeras of imprisonment and 100,000 fine. Why can't you implement the death sentence only and hang them immediately. So this is GOSL's tact to implement 40 years of imprisonment then they will say it is berdoned and reduced the sentences and freed before this Govt go to jail.

A good lesson for those "Dirty Harrys" in the Police force who think they are the lawmakers and can get away with anything with political influence. Hope that there wont be any political interference in this instance to get the suspects prematurely released.
