The final victim of the Manchester Arena terror attack
has been named as 15-year-old Megan Hurley,
a 'gentle and unassuming girl' who loved music and animals.
She had attended the concert with her older brother
Brad, 20, who was seriously injured in the attack.
Her parents, Michael and Joanne, run a
sandwich shop in Hunts Cross, in
Liverpool, and are understood to be at
their son's bedside as he recovers from the blast.
On Thursday pupils at Megan's school Halewood Academy
, could be seen standing in silence, paying
their respects at a tribute of pink balloons lined
at the entrance to the school.
She was confirmed dead by her aunt Maxine Benson
who said she was 'heartbroken' by the devastating news.
A vigil was held for the teenager at a primary
school close to her home in Halewood on Tuesday evening.
In a post on Facebook, Ms Benson, 53, wrote:
'My poor sister and Mike are destroyed beyond wor
ds...
it doesn't seem fair for two kids to go to a concert and
only one returns how in God's name could this happen
to such a lovely family... heartbroken xx.'
Relative Su Benson-Carson also posted a tribute to
Megan Hurley, otherwise known as Megan Benson,
on Facebook: 'So sorry to get the sad news last
night, such a devastating loss....positive thoughts
to relations near and far especially to Joanne Benson
on the loss of Megan at the Manchester concert and
positive thoughts to Brad who has been seriously hurt
in the attack, we are living in a mad world where
nothing makes sense anymore...xx deepest
thoughts go to all the family'.
