Mother who was on way to pick up daughters from school among victims

Tributes pour in from across the country for slain police officer

Four people including an attacker died in the London terror attack outside the Houses of Parliament — two members of the public and a police officer.

Police said 40 were injured after the attacker ploughed a car along a pavement on a bridge before stabbing the police officer outside the parliament. Here is what we know about the victims so far:

Police officer

The police officer killed has been named as 48-year-old Keith Palmer, a husband and father who was part of the parliamentary protection force.

Tributes have poured in from across the country for Palmer, who was unarmed and was stabbed to death just inside the vehicle entrance gates to parliament.

Palmer had been in the police for 15 years.

He previously served in the British army alongside James Cleverly, now a Conservative MP, who tweeted: “A lovely man, a friend. I’m heart-broken.”

Cleverly paid an emotional tribute to his friend in the House of Commons and asked that he receive a posthumous award for his actions.

Female pedestrian

British police said one of the victims run down and killed by the attacker was a woman in her mid-40s.

A Spanish diplomatic source confirmed to AFP that she was a 43 year-old British citizen named Aysha Frade, whose mother was Spanish. Media reports said she was on her way to pick up her two daughters from school.

Rachel Borland, principal of DLD College London where Frade worked in the administration team said she was “highly regarded and loved by our students and by her colleagues”.

In the hours after the attack sowed confusion on heavilytrafficked Westminster Bridge, Colleen Anderson, a junior doctor at the nearby St Thomas’ Hospital, said she had confirmed the death of a woman at the scene.

British police said the third victim was a man in his mid50s but provided no further details. However, a statement from the Mormon church issued on behalf of relatives says a Utah man was among those killed in a London attack and his wife was seriously injured.

Injured

Police said 29 of around 40 people wounded were treated in hospital. Seven remained in a “critical condition” yesterday.

Three French pupils, aged between 15 and 16, on a school trip to London were among those hurt.

Five South Korean tourists — four women and a man in their 50s and 60s — were also injured after being knocked to the ground by people trying to flee as the assailant mowed down pedestrians in a car, Seoul’s foreign ministry said. 12 Britons had been admitted to hospital as well as two Romanians, one German, one Pole, one Irish, one Chinese, one Italian, one American and two Greeks.
