The seven-year-old British boy missing since Thursday has been confirmed as one of the 15 people killed in the devastating terror attack in Barcelona. Julian became separated from his mother Jumarie when a van was driven into pedestrians on Las Ramblas killing 14 and injuring more than 130 others on Thursday evening.

Since then, British officials had described him as ‘missing’ but Spanish police yesterday tweeted that they were not searching for any lost children following the attack and that all victims had been located.
