The Colombo High Court Trial-at-Bar yesterday rejected the request made by former IGP Pujith Jayasundara to add additional facts to his statement made from the dock in the case filed on charges of murder and attempted murder related to the Easter Sunday terror attacks on April 21, 2019, citing insufficient evidence to prove the allegations of their alleged lapses and omissions in preventing the attacks.
