Rape and Murder of Vithiya

Two grey areas that need to be cleared

by Gunadasa Amarasekera

( June 3, 2015, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) It is rather unfortunate that our politicians or political analysts have so far not attempted to make an in-depth analysis of this dastardly crime which has incited such violent reaction, almost a revolt against the State. What must be inhibiting them may be the possible charge of arousing racial hatred that would be leveled against them especially at a time when we are all out to go ahead with reconciliation. But if reconciliation is to be based on truth, fear of such baseless charges should not deter us from unravelling the truth.
