ROMANIAN TOURIST HURT IN LONDON ATTACK DIES

-

LONDON They were a young Romanian couple, in love, strolling across Westminste­r Bridge, taking in London’s memorable sights.

A marriage proposal was in the air — though unstated — and the final photo captures their easy smiles and ebullient mood.

Then came Khalid Masood, driving his rented SUV into pedestrian­s. Andreea Cristea was knocked into the river below, and her boyfriend, Andrei Burnaz was badly injured. Masood rushed on to the grounds of Parliament, where he fatally stabbed a policeman.

London police said Friday Cristea had died the day before when her life support was withdrawn. Burnaz suffered a broken foot and survived the March 22 attack, but is bereft.

Her family and Burnaz described Cristea as “our shining ray of light that will forever keep on shining in our hearts,” and said they would donate all the money raised on her behalf to charity.
