TRAGIC: Aysha Frade

A HUSBAND whose wife was murdered in yesterday’s London terror attack has said his life has ‘fallen apart’.

The mother-of-two Aysha Frade, 43, was en route to pick up her daughters, eight and 11, after finishing work at a nearby language school.

She was hit by the attacker’s car and was thrown under a bus while her husband John was at work.

John’s cousin, also called John, said: “I can’t even put it into words how he’s feeling, his life’s completely fallen apart because of what’s happened. They’ve got young kids.”

He told the Standard: “When I heard I was just absolutely shocked. I’m still just feeling terrible, it’s a terrible thing to happen and you just don’t expect it to happen so close to home in this way.”

The unnamed man who committed the attack is believed to have been in his forties and was known to MI5.

He drove a 4×4 car through pedestrians on Westminster bridge before crashing them into the gates of Parliament.

From there he ran into the grounds and stabbed a policeman, who later died of his injuries.

Some 29 are injured while seven have ‘catastrophic injuires’.

Three people were killed in total.

  1. Earth to Olive Press and Theresa May? Come in reality? Are you there? Stop the politically correct nonsense! Quote “She was hit by the attacker’s car”. Huh? No, she was run down and murdered, not by a car but by the driver inside who swore allegiance to ISIS and Islamic Jihad. The car didn’t kill her! Khalid Masood did! Also, as the news is not reporting this, there were two other known similar attacks in Belgium and Italy, which were fortunately prevented. Again, the “attackers” were not the cars, but the radical Muslims driving them!

  2. The funny and pathetic thing is that for Farage, Johnson and the rest of these fanatics, the Spanish teacher and her Portuguese husband are the threats.
    According to their poor criteria, they are the ones who should have been expelled from the UK, and not the British terrorist, of course.

    • My God Pablo, you do come out with such ridicules assumptions. twisted mind again. I’m sill waiting for proof that
      Branier didn’t say what was reported. You never seem to back up anything that you say, that’s your problem, you just hit the tabs to suit your twisted thoughts.

      • Mon Dieu Carlos….

  4. Quite ironic that the latest terrorist incident in London, which was carried out Khalid Masood, is a British person, born in Kent and brought up as Adrian Russell Elms. The Brexiteers’ arguments about “illegals” are all slowly unwinding.
