Susantha, who also lost his wife, his two daughters, and son in Easter Sunday attack, feels his wife could have been saved if emergency treatment had been administered on time. Hearing the noise of the explosion, he ran into the church to see all his children dead on the spot.
His wife was breathing, but heavily bleeding. With the help of a passerby, he took his wife to the Negombo Gen. Hosptl, which was already overcrowded with the injured. The hosptl staff then decided to send Susantha’s wife to the Welisara Hosptl.
