Asos Tycoon Lays His Children to Rest after They Were Killed in Sri Lanka Terrorist Attacks

Andres Holch Povlsen, the Asos tycoon, lost three of his children during the horrifying Sri Lanka terrorist attacks on Easter Sunday and they have now been laid to rest.

The funeral was held on Saturday, May 4, 2019, at Aarhus Cathedral, in Denmark, where the family is originally from, and was attended by family, friends and even the Danish Royal Family.

It has been reported that the three children, Alfred, Alma and Agnes, were staying with their family at the Shangri-La Hotel in the capital of Colombo when it was hit.

A PAINFUL GOODBYE

During the service, the fashion billionaire was spotted consoling his wife, Anne, and daughter, Astrid, who managed to survived the attacks perpetrated by two suicide bombers.

The children's coffins were covered by blue, pink and purple flowers and Astrid was seen walking up to them to cut a set of balloons that flew into the sky.

NOT ALONE

Last week, following the death of his children, Povlsen described the loss as "utterly incomprehensible" and took the opportunity to thank all those who sent their love and support.

The tycoon also promised that they would brave through the tragedy thanks to the family, friends and neighbors they have in the Danish town of Brande.

It is believed that Povlsen was hurt in the terrorist attacks carried out by Zahran Hashim and Ilham Ibrahim, but the injury was is yet to be revealed as he was later discharged from the hospital.

HUNDREDS KILLED IN THE ATTACKS

Alfred, Alma and Agnes were three of the 253 people that lost their lives in the nearly-coordinated explosions that shook Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday.

At the time, three churches in Negombo, Batticaloa and Kochchikade District, as well as five popular luxury hotels, were chosen as targets by the terrorists.
