Wrong timing! if he was taken into custody, the government will be in trouble, and votes will be split. Good, Bad and the Ugly.

As a former resident of Tangalle, I have a feeling this well connected tug will not r serve one second behind bars. Sri Lanka has to separate politics from judicial process in order for justice to be served....

Waste of taxpayers' hard earned money. They should have kept him in jail in the first place. What civilized country gives bail to someone accused of such brutal acts? Sri Lanka is about as far from a 'Blessed Land' as one can get.
