Manchester attack: Who were the victims?

Publish date: 2024-08-08

Courtney Boyle was killed, along with her stepfather Philip Tron, as they waited to pick up her sister from the Ariana Grande concert.

Her mother Deborah Hutchinson said she had become “a gorgeous woman with a caring nature to match" and was studying criminology and psychology at Leeds Beckett University with the aim of joining the Prison Service.

Her sister said growing up with her had been “like growing up with a best friend” who had “guided all three of us - me, herself and my mam - through darker times, shining a light on these situations [and] ensuring we kept a smile on our face”.

Her boyfriend Callum Maundrill, who had been with her on the day of the attack, said seeing her “blossom gently into the confident, passionate free spirit she was still, to this day, brings me joy, because I was so lucky to bump into her”.
