Fiance speaks of his love for Tunisia victim Carly

The fiance of a woman killed in the Tunisia terror attack told her he loved her as he tried to save her life, an inquest has heard.

Carly Lovett, 24, from Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, died in Sousse while on holiday with Liam Moore, her partner of 10 years.

She was among 38 people killed by extremist Seifeddine Rezgui, who opened fire at the five-star Riu Imperial Marhaba Hotel on June 26th, 2015.

An inquest into her death heard that the fashion blogger and Mr Moore had run from the pool area of the hotel after hearing gunshots on the beach. Seeking safety, they fled into the hotel and up some stairs to what looked like an admin area for staff, the hearing at London's Royal Courts of Justice was told.

In a statement to the inquest, Mr Moore described the couple comforting each other before there being an "explosion".

The inquest heard that Mr Moore bent down towards his fiancee and turned her on her back to see her surrounded by blood.

"She told me she loved me and I told her I loved her too," said Mr Moore, who described seeing a wound on her inner arm.

Mr Moore then performed mouth to mouth breathing on his fiancee, and said that when her body relaxed, he knew that he had been unable to saveher life.

In a pen portrait, her family described the keen photographer as the "perfectchild". It continued: "I cannot find the words to express how much Carly is missed by her family and by so many people."

The inquest continues.
