Names of Barcelona victims continue to emerge

 

(CNN)Seven-year-old Julian Cadman on Sunday became the latest victim of the Barcelona terror attack to be named among the dead as more details about those who lost their lives began to emerge.

Citizens from at least 34 countries were among the 14 killed and more than 120 injured in attacks in Barcelona and the coastal town of Cambrils, according to officials.

Cadman, an Australian-British boy, who was in the city to attend to a family wedding, was reported missing in the aftermath of the attack on Las Ramblas after becoming separated from his mother.

The boy's mother was injured and taken to a hospital, where she told hospital workers before losing consciousness that her son had been with her, according to Francisco Jimenez, coordinator of SOS Desaparecidos -- a nonprofit organization that shares information about missing people.

The Catalan interior ministry issued a statement Sunday clarifying that Julian "had never been lost," but officials did not include him among the victims until his identity was confirmed and his family was notified.

In a statement, Cadman's family said: "We are so blessed to have had him in our lives and will remember his smiles and hold his memory dear to our hearts."

He is the son of a 43-year-old Filipino woman who has been living in Australia with her British husband.

A Spanish woman also was identified Sunday as one of the victims of the attack.

The Sant Hipolit de Voltrega town council said Pepita Codina, one of the residents of the city, was killed. Her daughter Elisabet is in the hospital for injuries suffered during the attack on Las Ramblas, the council said in a statement Sunday.

"There is very little we can add to these very difficult moments, but above all, for this family who has suffered the effects of this brutal attack with the death of Pepita, and the hospitalization of her daughter Elisabet, as a result of the injuries she suffered from the massive run-over in Las Ramblas. We hope Elisabet recovers as soon as possible, and can return home to her loved ones."
