The second victim of the Reading terror attack has been named as an American man who had been living in the UK for 15 years.

Joe Ritchie-Bennett, 39, was one of three people stabbed to death as they enjoyed the sunshine in Forbury Gardens on Saturday evening.

Mr Ritchie Bennett was originally from Philadelphia, but had been living in the UK for 15 years, his brother told the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Robert Ritchie told the newspaper: "The family is heartbroken they have lost their brilliant and loving son. This was senseless."

A friend wrote an emotional tribute to him on social media, saying he was a "wonderful and funny man".

Secondary school teacher James Furlong, 36, was the first victim to be named.

He taught history, government and politics at The Holt School in Wokingham, eight miles from where he was stabbed, and was described as ‘beautiful’ and ‘intelligent’ by his parents.
