UK experts ready to hunt Tunisia terror victim Sally Adey's killers

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the Government was "standing ready" to support in any way it could.

The vow was made as tributes continued to pour in for Sally Jane Adey, a solicitor from Caynton, near Albrighton, who was killed in the atrocities on Wednesday.

Mrs Adey was the only Briton to die in the massacre at the Bardo Museum in Tunis, gunned down while sightseeing with her husband Rob, 52, also a solicitor with a Birmingham law firm.

Mr Adey escaped unharmed and was supported by the British Consulate in the north African state in the aftermath of the shootings.

The couple were halfway through a dream Mediterranean cruise holiday.

Today a former college friend of Mr Adey's and a close friend of the family spoke of his shock and horror after hearing of the tragedy.

David Erwin, who went to Tettenhall College with Mr Adey, was skiing in France when he heard about the tragedy and described his friend's death as a "sad and tragic loss".

Paying tribute to the couple, he said: "Today I'm remembering my friend Sally Adey so senselessly lost to terrorism in Tunis.

"Thoughts with Rob, my close friend of over 40 years and two of the finest young people I know, Harry and Molly. It's a sad and tragic loss."

Writing on an internet tribute page, Jonathan Edwards from Shrewsbury said: "I met Sally through my work on about 10 occasions and had the pleasure of her welcoming me to her home.

"She struck me as someone who very much loved life, loved her family, and loved how her life was at that moment.

"Bless her. My respects to her family."

And Adam Barker added on the social networking site: "All of us are so sorry to hear this terrible news RIP Sally such a lovely lady gone too soon."

Family of Mr and Mrs Adey in Wolverhampton were too upset to talk yesterday.

Mrs Adey's home village of Scothern in Lincolnshire was said to be "eerily silent" as it came to terms with her death in the atrocity.

Her father Wing Cdr Robert Johnson lives in the village as does her brother Michael.

Glen Thompson, assistant headteacher at Lincoln Christ's Hospital School where Mrs Adey attended, said: "Everyone at the school is deeply saddened by the news.

"We want to express our condolences to Sally Adey's friends and family and to the families of everyone involved."

The Rev Adam Watson, vicar of Saint Germain's in Scothern, said: "The community here in Scothern has been shocked and are deeply saddened by the news of the death of Sally Adey. All our thoughts and prayers are with Sally's father Bob and his wife Joan at this terrible time."

Foreign secretary Mr Hammond said he had spoken to Tunisian Prime Minister Habib Essid in the wake of the terrorist attack.

In a written statement, the foreign secretary said: "I condemn this despicable murder of innocent people.

"Since Tunisia's revolution, the British Government has worked with the Tunisian Government in a number of areas, including security and counter-terrorism.

"We stand ready to provide further assistance, including through the deployment of police from the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) to support the post-attack investigation."

He said the travel advice had been amended to indicate further attacks are possible, but that the Government was not advising against travel to Tunisia.
