British boy, 7, among missing as victims of Barcelona horror are revealed
FEARS were growing last night for a British-born boy aged seven who was separated from his mother in the attack.
There has been no sign of Julian Cadman, who grew up in Kent but now lives in Sydney, since the terrorists struck.
His mother Jumarie was understood to be in a serious condition in the Vall d’Hebron Hospital yesterday.
Julian’s father Andrew, who is Australian, last heard from the pair – reportedly in Barcelona to attend a wedding – hours before the attack. He was flying to Spain last night to try to find his son.
Family members posted a picture online of the schoolboy wearing a jumper from the Chiddingstone Nursery in Kent. It is understood they moved to Australia four years ago. Family friend Norma Canaveral, of London, said: ‘We are just so worried. I am just waiting for news, hoping for good news.’
The 66-year-old added: ‘His mother is in the hospital, she’s OK, but she became separated from Julian and we don’t know where he is. All we can do is wait.’
A friend of Mr Cadman, called Scott, told Sydney’s 2GB Radio the father heard about the attack as he arrived at work just before 6am Australian time yesterday, and could not get hold of his wife. Scott said Mr Cadman was ‘absolutely beside himself’.
Family friend Norie Brown said Julian was ‘a typical boy’ who loves cars, adding: ‘We are kind of just thinking the worst.’
THE AMERICAN CELEBRATING HIS WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Construction worker Jared Tucker and wife Heidi Nunes had been celebrating their first wedding anniversary on Las Ramblas an hour before the attack.
The 42-year-old has not been seen since he popped into a restaurant while Miss Nunes, from California, looked at a stall.
The 40-year-old told NBC News: ‘He left me to use the restroom and within seconds there was screaming and yelling and people running.
‘I got pushed inside the souvenir kiosk and stayed there hiding while everybody kept running by screaming. The police
came in and were evacuating and made us leave.’
