A video circulating online following the attack on 57-year-old Reverend Christopher Lee on Nov 9 showed a lean, bald man being led away from the church with his hands behind his back.

ST found out that the man in the video is Basnayake. He was convicted and jailed in 2019 for causing hurt with a dangerous weapon, having pleaded guilty to stabbing his former girlfriend at a party while he was on drugs.

The 37-year-old had previously been seen at St Joseph’s Church in Upper Bukit Timah, but was not a regular, parishioners told The Straits Times.
