Authorities transferred former police chief Pujith Jayasundara and former defence secretary Hemasiri Fernando to prison moments ago after a majority of judges on the Colombo three-judge High Court Trail-at-Bar imposed death sentences this afternoon (31).
The court convicted both officials over charges of failing to prevent the Easter Sunday terrorist attack despite receiving intelligence reports, neglecting official duties, and abetting murder.
