Former Director of the CID Shani Abeysekera yesterday told the PCoI investigating the Easter Sunday bombings that they had realised that the Islamic terrorists were responsible for the killing of two policemen in Vavunativu only after the Easter Sunday attacks.
Abeysekera, who is currently receiving treatment at Ward 42 of the National Hospital, Colombo, testified via Skype. He had earlier contracted COVID-19.

He also pointed out that Abeysekera was not currently in active service.
