Woman stabbed in central London knife attack was American

The American woman killed in a central London knife attack that left five others injured has been identified. 

The Tallahassee Democrat reported that 60-year-old Darlene Horton  who was the only one who died in Wednesday night's incident, was married to Florida State University psychology professor Richard Wagner who was leading a summer study programme in London, which had just concluded. 

Both Ms Horton and Mr Wagner were scheduled to return to the US on Thursday. Students in the programme had already flown back home.

The FSU London Study Centre is a few blocks away from Russell Square, where the attack took place.

How sad. May her family be comforted in this difficult time.
