AKIPRESS.COM - Chris Bevington, a Briton who was one of four people killed in the Stockholm truck attack, was a “talented, compassionate and caring son”, his father said after news of his death emerged on Sunday, The Guardian reported.
Bevington, 41, died along with two Swedes and a Belgian when a truck mowed down pedestrians in a busy shopping district of the Swedish capital on Friday.
Based in Stockholm with his family, he worked as a director with music streaming service Spotify.
“We are all devastated by the untimely and tragic death of our talented, compassionate and caring son Chris,” John Bevington said in a statement. “A wonderful husband, son, father, brother and close friend to many. The family requests absolute privacy at this incredibly difficult time to mourn his passing in peace.”
One of the two Swedish victims was an 11-year-old girl on her way home from school. She had spoken to her mother just minutes earlier and agreed to meet her in the subway. A 31-year-old Belgian woman, visiting Stockholm as a tourist, also died.
