By Rathindra Kuruwita
Officers attached to the Police Unit of the Presidential Commission of Inquiry, probing into the Easter Sunday bombings, recorded a statement from former President Maithripala Sirisena at his official residence yesterday.
PCoI on 17 August summoned Sirisena to appear before the Police unit at the BMICH . Sirisena, however, informed the PCoI that he was unable to visit the Police unit and he could make a statement at his official residence.
Accordingly, the officers of the Police unit visited Sirisena’s residence around 9 a.m. yesterday and recorded a statement for several hours.
