    Sri Lanka’s ex-police chief sentenced to death over 2019 Easter bombings

    Sri Lanka’s ex-police chief Pujith Jayasundara was sentenced to death for failing to prevent the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings that killed 279 people, including 45 foreigners. A three-judge bench ruled he failed in his duties, and he can appeal to the Supreme Court, though Sri Lanka does not carry out death sentences.
