The wife of a suicide bomber, who blew himself up at the St Anthony’s Church, delivered their first baby two weeks after the Easter Sunday attacks, the Colombo Magistrate’s Court has been told.
Alawddin Ahmed Muath, the 22-year-old law graduate, was one of the nine suicide bombers who carried out a series of coordinated attacks on three churches and three luxury hotels on the Easter Sunday.
During a court hearing on Tuesday, Muath’s 59-year-old father informed Chief Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne that the bomber was the fourth of his five children. He was about to be enrolled in the Colombo Law College.
Muath got married 14 months ago and his wife delivered their first baby on May 5, he told the judge.
The father said that he last saw his son on April 14 when he visited his elder sister after the delivery of her first baby on April 13.
