Manchester attack: Man Describes How He Held Dying 8 Year Old Girl In His Arms As She Called Out For Her Mum





This is a very heartbreaking story of a little
8 year old girl, Saffie Rose Roussos, who
attended the Ariana Grande concert with
her mum and her 20 something year old
sister but got separated from them after
the bomb blast, at the Manchester Arena on
Monday.


This little girl was struck by the
explosion and all she wanted while she laid
down dying, was her mummy.

A first responder, Paul Reid who ran
towards the sounds of explosions at
Manchester Arena told how he cradled
dying Saffie Rose Roussos in his arms.


Paul,
43, ran back into the venue after he heard
the bomb go off and was met with the
horrific sight of bodies strewn across the
foyer after suicide bomber Salman Abedi
detonated his rucksack IED. Which was
how he found the little girl.



He told BLAZEGIST how he wrapped Saffie in
his coat and helped her onto a makeshift
stretcher.


He said:
"She was a dying little girl and she
just wanted her mum. It was
devastating."



Reid who was distraught tried to comfort
and reassure the fatally injured eight-year-
old as she cried out for her mum following
the blast.



Little Saffie Rose was struck when bomb
blast sent shrapnel, nuts and bolts
towards her. She was described as “simply
a beautiful little girl, in every aspect of the
word”.



A desperate search was launched online
after Saffie was separated from her mum
Lisa and sister Ashlee Bromwich, who is in
her 20s.



A neighbour and family friend revealed the
heartbreaking news that Lisa may have no
idea her daughter is dead.



Lisa is said to have remained in hospital
and was placed under heavy sedation.


Neighbour Salman Patel said: “Saffie’s sadly
passed away and her mother, we
understand, isn’t aware. I am praying for
the family, it is totally heartbreaking.”



Saffie's dad had no idea of the terror attack
as he arrived at Manchester Arena to pick
up his family.



Mr Patel said:
“He went to pick them up and arrived
to find his wife in a critical condition,
his elder daughter injured and his
younger daughter lost.



“I thought he meant lost in the crowd
but heartbreakingly he meant lost
forever, as in the end.



“I am praying the mum pulls through
and copes with the tragedy of finding
out when she does about her
daughter.”


Her aunt told BLAZEGIST:
""It’s every parent’s worst nightmare.
There is nothing anyone can do or
say to make it any better. "Saffie was
such a bubbly little girl. She was really
pretty, absolutely adorable. I’m just
numb inside. "She had everything to
live for, and its been taken away from
her. And for what reason?
