Canadian and French national killed

- By ANGUS HOWARTH

A Londoner, a Canadian woman and a French national were among those who were killed in Saturday night’s attack in the capital.

James Mcmullan, 32, from Hackney, was last seen outside the Barrowboy And Banker pub and his sister said police have told her his bank card was found on a body at the scene of the attack.

Melissa Mcmullan said: “While our pain will never diminish, it is important for us all to carry on with our lives in direct opposition to those who wish to destroy us and remember that hatred is the refuge of small-minded individual­s and will only breed more. Words will never be able to match his essence, there will only ever be one James.

“Nowhere else will you find such humour and a unique personalit­y, someone who puts friends and family above all others. “He was an inspiratio­n.” She added police told her they were unable to formally identify him until the coroner releases a report today.

Christine Archibald, 30, was the first to be named. She died in her fiance’s arms after being struck by the speeding van on London Bridge.

Her family said she would have had “no understand­ing of the callous cruelty that caused her death”.

A French citizen was also killed, foreign affairs minister Jean-yves Le Drian said. The victim has not yet been named but French newspapers reported that he was from St Malo, Brittany, and worked in a bar in the London Bridge area.

Five people were reported missing and have not been seen since the attack. Sebastien Belanger has not been seen since the attack, his girlfriend Gerda Bennet said on Facebook.

His friends have set up a page on the social networking site in an attempt to find him.

Xavier Thomas and his girlfriend, Christine Delcros, are said to have both been victims.

Nathalie Cros Brohan said

on Facebook her sister Ms Delcros was injured and taken to hospital, while Mr Thomas is yet to be found.

Australian Sara Zelenak’s friends have appealed for help to find her on social media.

She wrote: “I called her a lot of times but she never picked up the phone. She hasn’t been seen since the attack and we are all scared, worried but hoping she will be all right.”

Family members have appealed on social media to trace Spaniard Ignacio Echeverria, 39. Joaquin Echeverria wrote on Facebook he had been seen “defending someone with his skateboard”.
