“When the flight landed at 2:45 a.m., three Indonesian passengers were handed over to the airport police and later rushed to the Negombo Hospital for treatment. Two of the passengers – female (71) and male (64) – died on admission while the other – a 77-year-old male – received treatment,” he said.
He said the remains of the deceased would be handed over to the Indonesian Embassy in Colombo after investigations concluded.
