COLOMBO (News 1st); The Head of Sri Lanka’s Catholic Church, His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith, Archbishop of Colombo on Thursday (13) said the discovery of a hand grenade at a Colombo Church is a conspiracy.He flayed Sri Lanka Police over its handling of the investigation adding that authorities were presented a cooked-up story instead of revealing the truth.His Eminence said detectives have only examined CCTV footage recorded from 3 PM the day the grenade was discovered and not from the morning, adding that morning footage clearly shows a man acting in a suspecting manner.“At 9:52 AM, a man carrying a shopping bag was seen limping into the church.
He was examining the surroundings. He enters a row of seats at the back. When a Catholic enters the church they perform the sign of the cross.
He does something similar to that. But it’s clear that he isn’t a Catholic as he had done it the wrong way. He doesn’t pray.
He moves to the corner of that bench. We can see him approaching a statue in the corner. We can see him bending and taking out something presumably from his trousers or pockets.
