Birthday couple killed in resort terror blast

A Briton and his American girlfriend are among the dozens of dead in the Sharm el Sheikh terror massacre, it emerged tonight.

Keri Davies, 29, was in the resort with Kristina Miller, who was celebrating her 27th birthday when the bombs went off early on Saturday.

They were on holiday together before starting a new life in Australia.

Kristina’s father, Tony, spoke to her by phone on Friday from his home in Britain about her birthday plans.

He said tonight: “She was telling me about all the gifts she was bringing everyone, how she was going to spend her birthday that Friday going horseback riding and then going out to dinner with her boyfriend.”

Mr Miller, originally from Las Vegas, said that after hearing no word from her following the blasts, he rushed to Egypt, only to be told by embassy officials in Cairo that she was confirmed dead.

Keri’s father, Steven, from Fareham, Hants, said his son and Kristina were at the Ghazala Gardens Hotel which took the brunt of one of the three bomb blasts.

He told the Portsmouth News: “We only got confirmation of his death this morning.

“We knew he had been missing and hadn’t heard from him and we feared the worst.

“But hearing the news still rips something out of you.”
