Seven-year-old Australian boy missing after Barcelona attack Seven-year-old Australian-British boy missing after Barcelona attack
(about 4 hours later)
A seven-year-old boy who became separated from his mother is missing after the Barcelona terror attack, his Australian family say. An urgent search is underway for a child with dual British nationality who is believed to be among the missing after the terror attacks in Spain, the UK prime minister has said.
Sydney man Tony Cadman has posted on Facebook that his grandson Julian Cadman is missing and the boy’s mum Jom is in a serious but stable condition in hospital. Theresa May spoke after a British man living in Australia appealed for information about his seven-year-old grandson, Julian Alessandro Cadman, who became separated from his mother, Jom, during the chaos.
His father Andrew Cadman said he had spoken to his son only hours before he went missing. Cadman was travelling to Barcelona to search for Julian. “Julian is seven years old and was out with Jom when they were separated, due to the recent terrorist activity. Please share if you have family or friends in Barcelona,” said Tony Cadman, whose Facebook profile says he lives in Australia and is originally from Dorset.
His family have been sharing a photo of Julian to help in the search for the boy. May told Sky News that Britain was “urgently looking into reports of a child believed missing, who is a British dual national.” She did not name him.
The foreign affairs minister, Julie Bishop, has said one Australian is missing and four others have been injured in the attack. It has been reported that the child and his mother previously lived in Kent, and Tony Cadman posted a picture of Julian wearing a uniform from a British nursery school.
“We are concerned, but we are working closely with authorities to determine the whereabouts of the one Australian unaccounted for,” Bishop told reporters in Melbourne on Friday. Both May and the Foreign Office have confirmed that British nationals are among those injured, though they have not said how many.
Tony Cadman said Jom, his daughter-in-law, had been injured in the attack in Las Ramblas on Thursday, which left 13 people dead. He said she was in a serious but stable condition in hospital.
