Sri Lanka’s ex-police chief sentenced to death for negligence in bombings that killed more than 260
A Sri Lankan court sentenced former Police Chief Pujith Jayasundara to death for criminal negligence in the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings that killed 260 people. The death penalty in Sri Lanka typically results in life imprisonment due to an informal moratorium on executions. Current President Anura Kumara Dissanayake supports maintaining the moratorium.
