Terror attack victim number 16: German woman dies in hospital

The 51-year-old German woman, who has not been named, was taken into Barcelona's Hospital del Mar after becoming badly wounded when the now-deceased terrorist Younes Abouyaqqoub ploughed into crowds on the Ramblas, the city's main pedestrianised boulevard which runs from the centre to the port.

Yesterday (Saturday), regional health authorities confirmed that 25 victims remained in hospital out of the 132 injured, and that six were critical – one of whom was the German holidaymaker in question.

Now, 22 are still being treated, of whom five are fighting for their lives.

The victims

In the Cambrils (Tarragona province) attack – where five terrorists mowed down pedestrians in an Audi A3 and were shot dead by police – a total of five people were injured and one killed, 61-year-old Ana María Suárez, from Zaragoza province, whose home town intends to name a street after her.

Pau Pérez, 34, was stabbed to death when Abouyaqqoub stole his car, and his body was found inside it at a police checkpoint in Sant Just Desvern – just outside Barcelona – where Abouyaqqoub tried to run down officers before fleeing on foot.

Pérez is known to have carried out extensive aid work and fund-raising for Haïti, and his Facebook profile picture shows him with his dog in a pushchair.

The Spanish victims include Francisco López Rodríguez, 57, who was born in Lanteira (Granada province) but had lived in Rubí (Barcelona province) most of his life, and his niece's three-year-old son Xavi.

Xavi's mother and sister were injured, and the child's father was pictured this week in the arms of the Iman, or mosque leader of Rubí, who was sobbing on his shoulder.

Pepita Codina, 75, from Sant Hipòlit de Voltregà (Barcelona province), who was walking down the Ramblas with her daughter at the time, died in Hospital del Mar from her injuries, and Silvina Pereyra, an Argentine-born Bolivian with joint Spanish-Argentinian nationality who worked in the Boquería Market on the Ramblas, were the other two Spaniards who lost their lives.

Bruno Gulotta, 35, who worked for the IT magazine Tom's Hardware and lived near Milan, Luca Russo, 25, an engineer from the Venice area, and Carmen Lopardo, 80, who had lived all her life in Buenos Aires, were three Italian tourists walking on the Ramblas – Bruno with his wife and two small children and Luca with his girlfriend – and who died in the attack.

Elke Vanbockrijck, 44, from the Flemish-speaking town of Tongeren near Lièges, Belgium, was on holiday in Barcelona with her husband and two children aged 11 and 14 when she lost her life.

Jared Tucker, 42, from the USA, was celebrating his first wedding anniversary in Barcelona when he nipped to the toilet, leaving his wife Heidi buying souvenirs, and was killed by the runaway van on his way.

Canadian Ian Moore Wilson, whose daughter Fiona is a police sergeant in Vancouver, was killed and his wife Valerie injured.

Along with Xavi from Rubí – who was killed when he was knocked out of his pushchair, hitting his head on the ground – the other child victim was Julian Cadman, seven, a British-born Australian who was on holiday with his mum Jom when he was reported missing after the attack.

Reports later claimed he had been found in hospital, but this turned out to be incorrect.

A British man called Harry told the BBC that he had cradled Julian in his arms so he would not have to die alone, refusing to leave him even when the police told him to clear the scene for his own safety.

Maria Lurdes Ribeiro, 74, from Lisbon and her granddaughter Maria Correia, 20, were taking one final walk down the Ramblas on their week-long holiday after checking out of their hotel room when they were killed.

All of the original 15 were identified within four days, by their fingerprints and DNA.

The non-Spanish nationals killed were all tourists.
