Mum Of 8-Year-Old Girl Killed In Manchester Attack Still Doesn’t Know Her Daughter Is Dead

Saffie Rose should've been having one of the best night's of her young life

Eight-year-old Saffie Rose Roussos went with her mum Lisa and sister Ashlee to see one of her favourite performers live. The night should’ve been one of the best the young girl had ever experienced, instead, it was the end of her life. 

Saffie has been confirmed dead after the suicide bombing at Ariana Grande’s Manchester Arena concert yesterday.

Her mum, Lisa, still doesn’t know about her daughter’s death, as she’s currently in a coma, fighting for her own life. 

Sister, Ashlee, who’s in her 20s, was also injured in the attack and is currently being treated in hospital, The Sun reports.

“Saffie was simply a beautiful little girl in every aspect of the word,” the eight-year-old’s school principal, Chris Upton, told The Guardian.

“She was loved by everyone and her warmth and kindness will be remembered fondly.

“Saffie was quiet and unassuming with a creative flair.

“The thought that anyone could go out to a concert and not come home is heartbreaking.”

Tributes have also flooded in for John Atkinson, 26, and Georgina Callander, 18, who have also been named among the 22 people killed in the terror attack.
