Tributes paid to British businessman killed by suspected ‘terrorists’ in Uganda

Tributes have been paid to a well-known businessman and his newlywed wife who were killed in a “terrorist” attack on their vehicle in an African national park.

David Barlow, his South-African-born wife Celia and their Ugandan guide were driving through the Queen Elizabeth National Park on Tuesday when they were attacked and killed by a rebel group linked to the so-called Islamic State terror group.

The couple, who lived in Hampstead Norreys, near Newbury in Berkshire, a village home to around 800 people, were married in South Africa on Saturday and had been in Uganda on their honeymoon, locals have said.
