Sulia is a Sinhalese, a retired senior policeman.

Once, he had a happy family, a lovely wife and two children. They had no worry for basic life. Sulia had a stable job as a policeman. That time, policeman was an easy job; they hardly have any case to solve as the place they lived in was safe and sound, bu t things do no t las t.

Sri Lanka was a lovely island where beautiful beach was, also they have great amount of fresh delicious seafood. It is also known as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean.
