A man killed in the London Bridge stabbing attack Friday was identified as 25-year-old University of Cambridge graduate Jack Merritt.
Merritt was a course coordinator at Learning Together, the organization that conducted the prison rehabilitation conference attended by Usman Khan at Fishmongers’ Hall Friday, according to Sky News. Merritt ran to the scene of the attack in the hall after hearing screams and seeing a woman covered in blood, Sky News said.
Khan, 28, who was released a year ago from prison after serving half of a 16-year-sentence on terrorism charges and wore an electronic tracking device, burst from the hall onto the street at London Bridge wielding two knives and wearing a fake suicide vest.
The native of Pakistan killed two people, including Merritt, and wounded three before he was shot dead by police. Police said he was believed to have acted alone.
“My son, Jack, who was killed in this attack, would not wish his death to be used as the pretext of more draconian sentences or for detaining people unnecessarily,” his father, David Merritt, reportedly tweeted. “R.I.P. Jack: you were a beautiful spirit who always took the side of the underdog.”
