An expat IT director from Manchester on a one-day work trip to Sri Lanka has been named as the eighth British victim of the Easter Sunday terror attacks that killed 359 people.
Lorraine Campbell aged 55 is believed to have died after a suicide bomber struck at the breakfast buffet of the Cinnamon Grand hotel in Colombo on Easter Sunday.
Her son Mark, 32, told the Daily Mail:
“I have been told it is her. She has been taken in a terrible way.”
Ms Campbell had relocated to Dubai last year with her husband and her son and said she had been anxious about travelling to Sri Lanka.
She had messaged me before the trip to say she was nervous about flying there because of Dengue fever,” he said.
“She was quite worked up about it but I told her she would be all right. I never thought something like this could happen.
“Mum was amazing. She touched everyone she met and all those people now have a huge hole in their lives.”
