Colombo (LNW): President Ranil Wickremesinghe has reportedly decided to appoint a committee to probe into the allegations levelled by British television network Channl 4 on the Easter Sunday Massacre, which took away more than 250 lives in April 2019.
The committee will be chaired by a retired Supreme Court judge, to inquire into the Channel 4 allegations.
Meanwhile, the government has reportedly decided to appoint a Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) to investigate the allegation levelled by a former Attorney General on the existence of who he described as ‘a mastermind’ behind the Easter attack.
Upon the completion of the two investigations into the attacks, the reports from the PSC and the Presidential Commission on the attack will be presented to Parliament before any final decisions are made, the President noted.
