Trouble again at J'pura, student slain
By Santhush Fernando
Trouble and tragedy hit the Sri Jayawardenapura University again yesterday when a third-year student was stabbed to death allegedly by a final-year student of a rival faction within the campus premises.
Sampath Wasantha Bandara, an Arts Faculty student from Gokarella in the Kurunegala district, was killed near a statue while he was leaving the university premises last evening. Police said three suspects were arrested but the main suspect was still at large.
The killing is believed to be connected with long-standing rivalry between two student factions, following the slaying of medical student O.V. Samantha in November 2002. Eyewitness Ven Julampitiye Mangala Thera describing yesterday's tragedy said one of the suspects had held Bandara while the other stabbed him.
Duminda Nagomuwa, Convenor of the JVP-backed Inter University Students Federation, claimed that the suspect was a member of the Samantha Padanama, which was at odds with the IUSF and the Samantha group had tried to attack some rival students last Wednesday night.
The victim was the Vice-President of the Arts Faculty Students' Union last year. Acting Vice Chancellor Chandima Wijebandara who visited the scene last night told The Sunday Times the student was a victim of a long-standing dispute. He said they had organised monthly meetings to defuse tension between the groups, but he was sad that violence had erupted again.

LK Information 30 Nov 2008 22:08:04 GMT Report for Abuse
LionsTalk,
But even if one Tamil in Jaffna is voting with his/her feet, carrying the Sri Lankan flag, then who are we to say NO ?
Just because Dr W Karunaratne says that and a political solution tabled for the ethnic problem, the president is not going to listen to him.
The real test of Tamils' preferences can only be found out from a fair and free referendum conducted under the supervision of monitors agreed by both parties. Defence.lk and Tamilnet are partisan and cannot be taken as final. |

Italy: President Mahinda Rajapaksa is to meet Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican today during a brief visit to Italy.
He prayed to Buddha, but could not win the war... he prayed to Allah, no change in war situation, now he is praying to Jesus...the result will be same!
He missed the most important god, who lives next door! |

Modayaas get into campusses to kill innocents... Sri Lanka campuses are similar to Gontanamo Bay terror camps! |

Wbahu,
Here are some differences:
Police said three suspects were arrested
Acting Vice Chancellor Chandima Wijebandara who visited the scene last night told The Sunday Times the student was a victim of a long-standing dispute.
He said they had organised monthly meetings to defuse tension between the groups, but he was sad that violence had erupted again.
This is a personal issue between 2 sets of people... it is not a riot based on the caste of the people. Also, police are investigating... the university was trying to defuse the situation... it's not like the TN case where the police watched and then the politicians defended the police for watching! Ridiculous! |
