Perth couple named as Sri Lanka victims - PerthNow

A doctor and her ex-firefighter husband who called Perth home have been named among the British victims killed in the Sri Lanka terror attacks. Bill Harrop and Dr Sally Bradley were staying at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel in Colombo when it was targeted by a suicide bomber during a series of attacks on Easter Sunday. The couple, both aged 56, had reportedly been living in Perth since 2013, where Dr Bradley was practising medicine. They had planned to return to the UK soon. A statement released by her family said: “Dr Bradley was a kind, loyal and hardworking woman that lived for adventure. “She was the personification of joy that life could bring if you approached it with a smile on your face and warmth in your heart. She dedicated her professional life to public service and was a true daughter of Greater Manchester. “After graduating from the University of Manchester Medical School, she was a GP in Salford, a Director of Public Health in Manchester and then the Medical Director of Pennine Acute NHS Trust, before travelling to Australia with her husband Bill, a decorated firefighter in Greater Manchester, where she continued to practice medicine.
