US PRESIDENT Barack Obama will travel to Boston tomorrow to take part in an interfaith service in memory of the three people who died in Monday’s bombings at the Boston Marathon.
Details of the visit have been confirmed as details emerge of those killed in the bombings – including an 8-year-old boy who was cheering on the participants.
Martin Richard and his family were watching runners approach the finish line of the 42-kilometre race on Boylston Street when the first blast occurred.
Martin and his family – his parents, brother and sister – were trying to get over race barriers and onto the street to escape the blast area when the second bomb struck, about 100 yards down the street.
Martin was killed; his sister Jane, 6, lost one of her legs, while their mother Denise underwent surgery for a brain injury. Another child, Henry, was not hurt.
Bill Richard, who issued a brief statement confirming his son’s death yesterday, himself needed to have several ball bearings removed from his leg.
“We thank our family and friends, those we know and those we have never met, for their thoughts and prayers,” Bill’s statement said. “I ask that you continue to pray for my family as we remember Martin.”
Another victim, 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, was watching the race with her best friend – and was hoping to take photographs of her friend’s boyfriend as he came home from the race. The friend, Karen Rand, suffered a severe leg injury.
Her father William described her as the light of his life, and “a very caring, very loving person,” while her mother Patty admitted to being “heartbroken at the death of our daughter”.
“She had a heart of gold. She was always smiling. You couldn’t ask for a better daughter,” the mother said. “This doesn’t make sense.”
The third person killed was a Chinese graduate student, details of whom have not yet been released.

Just drop the Sun full stop..
Its such a pity…Page 3 gave me plenty of fond mammaries…
Get rid of page 3, I’d get rid of page 1,2,3,4,5,6…in fact the whole paper. It’s a rubbish paper with very little relevant news, might be ok for sport but that’s about it.
He can’t get rid of page 3 otherwise there’ll be a gap between page 2 and page 4.
Obviously there will be no page 4 now
Ahh Tits, it was the only reason I bought the bloody paper :)
Now there’s two more reasons not to buy the Sun.
Murdoch has cheapened society with his muck empire .Boycott his print dumbdumb papers .
You said it, Murdock the Muckraker.
If the market wants it then give it to them. What will builders do without page 3!
What builders…….
Plenty of builders this side of the pond. The world consists of more than Ireland.
If page 3 goes, how will we keep abreast of things?
No way…………
Its no more a rag than the mirror and the star, and increasingly the independent a rag without a red top
What’s poor old Dannii (21) from Essex and Jakki (19) from Newcastle going to do now?
Celebrity Big Brother
More a case of who will they do now!
danni has been 21 for the last five years or so.
Looks like he lived through the whole century himself……….
The no more page 3 group, brought to you by ugly single women with low self esteem…
Probably no chebbs either.
Although the sun is a rag, if he gets rid of page 3 no one will buy it, and it will go out of business( which is not a bad thing). I can’t see him doing it as he will lose money as a result.
He has this unprofitable attachment to newspapers; they don’t make much money anymore. Most of Newscorp’s revenue comes from their movies, channels, sports, cable, social media, etc.
As long as they dont get rid of Zoo or Nuts I dont care if they get rid of Page 3. Plenty of tits on Nuts and Zoo
Page 3 is the breast page in the paper
Lindsay 23, Essex, will not be pleased!
A bit like yourself Rupert.. Last century
Baps
Nnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooo
What about those poor unfortunate exploited girls.
They need hugs and Jesus.
Ah crap, forgot my medication!
Page 1, page 2, page 4….wtf?
Is he going to have a 2A page instead, or just page 1, 2 and 4.
let’s hope he considers this much in the same way the organisation he runs considered phone tapping.
He’s too old to be looking at page 3 anyway.
have your say
