25 years on, Scottish school massacre ‘like yesterday’ for father Published on Share
A father whose five-year-old daughter died in Britain’s worst mass-shooting will mark 25-years since he was “robbed” of her with a visit to her grave, saying the tragedy still feels “like yesterday”.
Martyn Dunn’s daughter Charlotte was one of 16 children killed by 43-year-old gunman Thomas Hamilton at her primary school in the town of Dunblane on the morning of March 13, 1996.
Dunn, 60, told AFP he most regretted not seeing his daughter Charlotte grow into an adult.
“One of the things that really affected me was I had been robbed of my daughter and I wouldn’t be able to give my daughter away at a wedding to get married,” he said from his home in Dunblane.
