Andreea Cristea
The Romanian woman who was knocked off Westminster Bridge has died. The BBC reports:
Andreea Cristea is the fifth victim of the attack on 22 March, in which Khalid Masood drove into crowds on Westminster Bridge then stabbed a policeman to death, before being shot dead himself.
Ms Cristea, 31, who was on holiday with boyfriend Andrei Burnaz, had been in hospital since the attack.
She was an architect.
The couple were in London to celebrate Mr Burnaz’s birthday and he had been planning to propose to Ms Cristea that day, Romania’s UK ambassador Dan Mihalache told the BBC.
He said it was thought Masood’s car had mounted the pavement and hit Mr Burnaz, before pushing Ms Cristea into the Thames.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said he was “deeply saddened to hear of the death of Andreea Cristea”.
He tweeted: “Londoners hold her & her loved ones in our thoughts today.”
Homo homini lupus.
