Tributes have been paid to Hannah Bladon, the 20-year-old British student who was murdered in Jerusalem on Friday.
The Birmingham University theology and archaeology student, who was on an exchange programme in Israel at the Hebrew University this year, was stabbed in an attack on Jerusalem’s light railway in which two other people were lightly wounded.
One of her tutors in Israel, Rona Evyasaf, wrote on Facebook, wrote, “At the littletime we had, I found her to be very serious about her studies and very excited about archaeology (she wanted to go on a dig before she goes back home). This is breaking my heart).”
In a statement released by the Foreign Office, Ms Bladon’s family in Burton-on-Trent said they were “devastated by this senseless and tragic attack”.
