A British student at the University of Birmingham met her untimely death yesterday 13th April 2017 on a tram in Jerusalem. She was reportedly stabbed several times on the chest in a tram. She was on an exchange programme at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
She was killed by a man who repeatedly stabbed her in the chest on a tram while she was commuting.
Jerusalem police chief Yoram Halevy told the AFP news agency the man was “very mentally disturbed”.
An off-duty policeman travelling on the tram pulled an emergency brake and then tackled the attacker, with the help of another passenger.
He told the AFP news agency: “I was travelling with my family when I heard the cries of ‘attack, attack’.
“I sounded the alarm then rushed to the scene of the attack. We overpowered him.” The attacker is now in police custody for questioning. Another promising life wasted, may her soul rest in peace!
