The Attorney General (AG) exhibited information in the Colombo High Court (HC) consisting of 800 charges against former IGP Pujith Jayasundara and former Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando, in respect of those killed and injured in the Easter Sunday attacks, reports Adaderana on May 3. The AG’s coordinating officer stated that they have been charged in two separate Trials-at-Bar for the offences of murder, attempted murder for their serious lapses and grave omissions to prevent the Easter Sunday bombings. The former IGP and former Defence Secretary have been accused of neglecting the prior intelligence input on the impending attacks, thereby failing to prevent the loss of life. A special Presidential panel recently recommended that criminal action be taken against both Fernando and Jayasundera and several other senior defence officials. The trial of Fernando and Jayasundera is to be held before a 3-member bench for murder and attempted murder.
