THE body of a Hampshire man killed in the Tunisian beach massacre has arrived back in the UK today.

David Thompson, 80, was one of 30 British victims who died in the attack by gunman Seifeddine Rezgui in Sousse on Friday.

The Foreign Office said the body of Mr Thompson was one of eight returned to the UK today on an RAF C17 military transport plane.

The plane landed at the Brize Norton airbase in Oxfordshire.

Eight Britons killed in the terror attack were brought back to British soil earlier, and further flights are expected.

British nationals made up most of the 38 killed by gunman Seifeddine Rezgui when he opened fire on holidaymakers on a beach in the resort of Sousse on Friday - along with three Irish nationals, two Germans, one Belgian, one Portuguese and one Russian.

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said: "We now have all 30 British victims positively identified and we can say with a high degree of confidence that is now the final death toll of British nationals killed in this incident."

As the hunt continued for accomplices believed to have helped Rezgui carry out the atrocity, the Tunisian government said it had arrested 12 suspects.

According to Tunisian officials, the gunman trained at a Libyan jihadist camp at the same time as the two gunmen who attacked the Bardo museum in Tunis in March, killing 22 people.

Mr Thompson lived in The Green in Tadley.
