Earlier it was reported that the victims of the terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka were the three children of one of the most wealthy people in Denmark, the shareholder of the ASOS online store Anders Holch Povlsen.

A series of explosions occurred in the temples and five-star hotels of Sri Lanka on April 21, on Catholic Easter. According to the latest data, a total of 320 people died as a result of the attacks and 520 were injured.

Sri Lankan authorities said that the bombings that terrorists staged on Easter Sunday in Christian churches, as well as in hotels and other places in the country, are a response to the recent terrorist attack in New Zealand.
