Colombo High Court Judge Pathmini N Ranawak today convicted two individuals over the charges of raping a minor girl in Buttala area on September 26, 2002.
The two convicts, Chaminda Shrinath and Kudahettige Rajawansa Karunadeera sentenced to 17 years and 10 years imprisonment respectively by the Court.
The Court also imposed a fine of Rs. 10,000 each convicts and ordered the convicts to compensate the victim with Rs. 50,000 each.
However, another individual into the case was acquitted by the court, as the prosecution had not proven the allegations against him beyond reasonable doubts.
The Attorney General had earlier indicted three individuals on four counts under section 363 (rape) of the Penal Code for raping a minor girl, who was below the age of 16.
