Murdered youth by drowning identified as Tamil

Report states: the murdered youth by drowning in the sea at the Colombo, Bambalapitiya yesterday is identified as a Tamil resident of Ratmalana named Balavannan Sivakumar, 26, by his brother.
A Police Media spokesman informs us that the policeman who was identified by camera clips today surrendered himself to the police.

The Tamil youth is a mental patient. According to eyewitness evidence, said youth had been pelting stones at vehicles travelling on the highway at Bambalapitiya, and he had even pelted stones at the military vehicle. This resulted in the vehicle stopping. At this time, the youth had jumped to the railway track and while a train was proceeding, he too had stoned the train; hence the train was immediately stopped.

Due to this, the youth being a mental patient jumped to the sea. In this situation, two civilians and a policeman had too jumped to the sea, and started to assault the youth mercilessly.

The Television camera focused on two people assaulting the youth unmercilessly, and the youth to escape from the attacks had been worshiping to stop them assaulting him. But the assaults continued by the persons, and they did not allow the youth to come to the shore. By continuously hitting him, to escape the attacks, the youth without any option had gone to the mid sea, which clearly shows in the video clips. The massive sea waves had pulled him which caused this tragic death was much revealed from the video clips.

The death of the youth who had been suffering mental sickness due to severe assaults and forcible drowning is much established is according to sources.

inexcusable,

I'd be pissed, too, if someone is pelting rocks at my car - but I think I'll stop way short of killing the person
the cop probably had a bad day to begin with

but where are the parents/family members of the youth?

do they know their kid is pelting rocks at passing vehicles?
being a 'mental health patient' should not excuse the kid from doing something illegal and potentially endangering other people's lives as well

a tad curious to see what will happen to the cop(s)
