Tunisia attack victim looked ‘like she was lying in the sun’

The husband of one of three Irish victims of the 2015 Tunisia terrorism attack has told an inquest into their deaths how he found his wife lying on the beach “with her head to one side as if she was lying in the sun”.

The jury in the inquest into the deaths of Lorna Carty, 54, from Robinstown, Co Meath, and Laurence, 56, and Martina Hayes, 55, from Athlone, recorded verdicts of unlawful killing for all three deaths and recommended that a link to a Department of Foreign Affairs smartphone App alerting tourists to risks associated with travel abroad be permanently displayed on all travel websites.

Gunman Seifeddine Rezgui walked onto the beach and opened fire with a Kalashnikov rifle, killing 38 people before he was shot dead by authorities.
