Victims of the mass murder were laid to rest Tuesday, with one funeral procession following another all day
Colombo, Sri Lanka — Victims of the Easter bombings in Sri Lanka were laid to rest on Tuesday, with one funeral procession following another all day.
Giving the victims in Negombo a Christian burial essentially required a mass grave, and a whole new cemetery had to be hastily dug to bury more than 100 bodies. The graves are simple mounds, covered in flowers. Family, neighbors and friends looked on, still trying to absorb the community’s staggering loss.
At a nearby vigil, Joseph Gomez grieved for his son and grandchildren, killed by terrorists. «I can’t bear this,» he said.
