Their honeymoon turned to drama on the night of Monday to Tuesday. A newly married Irish couple had been on their honeymoon since Saturday at the seaside resort of Mati, Greece, when pest outbreaks erupted. Trapped by the flames as they tried to escape by car, the bride was able to escape. Her husband died in the fire.
While the families of the victims are still looking for missing people three days after the fires, the deadliest of the century in Greece, tragic testimonies are multiplying. Among them, the story of Brian O'Callaghan-Westropp and his wife, Zoe Holohan. Ireland's ambbadador to Greece, Orla O'Hanrahan confirmed Wednesday the death of his compatriot.
"They were married since last Thursday, and flew to Greece on honeymoon Saturday," reports the Irish news channel RTE news. The young couple spent their holidays at the seaside resort of Mati. At night, they tried to flee by car. Blocked by the flames, she was able to escape to the nearest beach. He did not succeed.
Brian O'Callaghan-Westropp, a Dublin catering company employee, volunteered for an emergency medical transportation badociation, which paid tribute to him on social media. His colleagues mourn a "dear friend and diligent worker".
Zoe Holohan was admitted Tuesday night to the hospital for burns to the head and hands. She should fully recover from her injuries. Her family is near her.
The fires took place in a very touristy area in the Athens area. This Thursday, 82 deaths are to be deplored, a balance sheet which should be heavier, according to the Greek authorities. Many people are still missing.
