A doctor has told an inquest of the “unprecedented” decision to enter the scene of the Fishmongers’ Hall terror attack to help casualties despite bomb fears.
Convicted terrorist Usman Khan fatally stabbed Cambridge University graduates Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, at a Learning Together offenders’ education conference on the afternoon of November 29 2019.
Khan, 28, who had travelled to London from his home in Stafford, had set upon Mr Merritt in the men’s toilets after strapping two large knives into his hands.
Mr Merritt suffered 12 knife wounds, including a fatal injury to his chest.
Ms Jones was stabbed in the neck in the cloakroom area and staggered on to the stairs, where she collapsed.
