Colombo Archbishop Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith today arrived at the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCOI) probing the Easter Sunday attacks to give evidence.

This was the first time Cardinal Ranjith engaged with an official process to find out the root causes behind the attacks and the security lapses leading to it.

President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa met the members of the PCOI earlier this week and discussed their future course of action.

Rajapaksa has promised to take stern action against those responsible for the attacks, directly and indirectly.
