Jaela (AsiaNews) – “I can still hear the shouting in my ears: ‘kill him!,” said Fr Jude Lakshman, parish priest of Our Lady Rosa Mystica in Crooswatta, as he spoke to AsiaNews about the attack against his church last Sunday.

“A mob of about a thousand people with sticks, swords and stones stormed the church when I and my parishioners were still inside. I had just finished the 7 o’clock Mass,” the priest said. “They smashed statues, the altar and chairs. They destroyed everything.”
