Three children of retail billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen were killed in the attacks in Sri Lanka on Sunday, according to a spokesperson for his company.
Stubkier declined to comment further, citing the need «to respect the privacy of the family.» Holch Povlsen and his wife, Anne, have four children, according to Danish media.
Several hundred people died in the wave of bombings across Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday. At least 39 of those killed were visitors from countries including Turkey, India, the United Kingdom and Australia.
Four days after the coordinated attacks, the Sri Lankan Health Ministry revised the death toll, saying 253 people had died. That toll is significantly lower than the 359 initially reported to CNN by a Colombo police spokesman this week. The health ministry cited the condition of remains and the difficulty in identifying them for the discrepancy.
