THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The British woman beheaded in a Tenerife supermarket has been named as Jennifer Mills-Westley.
Jennifer Mills-Westley, a retired 60-year-old from Norwich, was stabbed to death and beheaded in the horrific attack on Friday.
In a statement, her daughter Sarah, said: "Mum retired a number of years ago and was fully enjoying her retirement travelling between Tenerife and France where she spent time visiting her daughter and grandchildren, and her other daughter in Norfolk.
"She was full of life, generous of heart, would do anything for anyone. We now have to find a way of living without her love and light and we would ask at this difficult time for some privacy as we try to come to terms with our loss.”
Mrs Mills-Westley was said to have reported the threatening behaviour of her attacker, a 28-year-old Bulgarian named Deyan Valentinov Deyanov, to a security guard.
Minutes later the Bulgarian reportedly hacked her to death claiming to be a "prophet of God". » | Fiona Govan, Los Cristianos, Tenerife | Saturday, May 14, 2011
The sadness of this case is unquantifiable. That such a lovely lady in the prime of her life should be attacked in this barbaric way, and here in the West, really does beggar belief. This awful incident can only touch any normal, feeling person to the very fibre of his/her being. May the poor lady rest in peace. – Mark
