Anders Povlsen, one of the owners
of British online fashion retailer, Asos, says three of his four children were
killed in the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka.
A series of blasts, most thought
to be the work of suicide bombers, was targeted at churches and five star
hotels in eight different locations.
According to Daily Mail, spokesperson for the Danish billionaire
confirmed on Monday that his children were on holiday in the south Asian
country.
A few days ago, one of Povlsen’s
children, Alma, had uploaded an image of her three siblings, Astrid, Agnes and
Alfred, lounging at a poolside.

It is unknown which of his three
children died in the bombings which have claimed at least 290 lives.
Manisha Gunasekera, Sri Lankan
high commissioner to the UK, said eight British nationals were killed in the
attacks.
Citizens of the US, China, Japan
and Portugal were also killed in the bombing.
No group has claimed
responsibility but the police have arrested 24 suspects in connection with the
incident.
The police blamed the attack on
National Thowheed Jamaath (NTJ), an extremist group which were the subject of
an intelligence warning 10 days before the attacks.
