Sri Lanka suicide bomb suspect looks pats little girl on the head moments before explosion
News24xx.com - A suicide bomber look was so calm prior to detonating a bomb, when he stopped to pat a girl on the head.
From CCTV footage showed a man thought to be one of the attackers interacting with the child shortly before he killed at least 110 worshippers at a service in St Sebastian’s Catholic church, in Negombo, Sri Lanka.
He is thought to have patted Dilip Fernando’s granddaughter on the head before carrying out the attack.
Mr Fernando, 66, was lucky to avoid being caught up in the blast after he was forced to find an alternative church because St Sebastian’s was overcrowded.
In total 321 people were killed, including eight Britons, in attacks across three churches and three hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday. And 500 were injured.
British victims included lawyer Anita Nicholson, son Alex Nicholson, 14, and daughter Annabel Nicholson, one, who died in Shangri-la Hotel in Colombo. Londoner Matthew Linsey confirmed his daughter, Amelie, 15, and son Daniel, 19, died at the same hotel.
Former firefighter Bill Harrop and doctor Sally Bradley, a British couple who lived in Australia, were also killed in one of the hotels.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the Easter bombings and released images that purported to show the attackers. Authorities have detained 40 people in connection with the blasts.
