Dad Chris named as Stockholm victim
A BRITISH dad killed in Friday’s Stockholm terror attack was “talented, compassionate and caring”, his family said.
Crispin Bevington, known as Chris, was near his office in the Swedish capital when he was mown down by a man named as Rakhmat Akilov.
The Uzbek national, 39, who has been arrested, hijacked a beer delivery truck before ploughing through the city’s main shopping area.
Two Swedes and a Belgian died alongside dad-of-two Chris, 41, who worked for music streaming service Spotify and is thought to have lived in Stockholm for 10 years.
His dad John, from Surrey, said yesterday: “We are all devastated by the untimely and tragic death of our talented, compassionate and caring son Chris.
“A wonderful husband, son, father, brother and close friend to many.” The driver of the truck was wanted for failing to comply with a deportation order, having had a bid for asylum turned down, police said yesterday. Officers had been searching for him since February. Meanwhile, ex-Celtic goalie Magnus Hedman has revealed his two children were caught up in the terror. The boys and their mum – his ex Magdalena Graaf – fled into a cafe to escape the truck rampage. On social media, Hedman, 44, said: “Magdalena, you saved the most important thing I have in my life. I cannot think or talk about what happened without tears in my eyes and heart.” ● A 17-YEAR-OLD asylum seeker from Russia was arrested yesterday after an explosive device was found near an underground station in Oslo. Police defused it before it detonated.
