His father confirmed his identity on Twitter: “My son, Jack, who was killed in the attack, would not wish his death to be used as the pretext for more draconian sentences or for detaining people unnecessarily.
“R.I.P Jack: you were a beautiful spirit who always took the side of the underdog.”
It is believed that Merritt graduated from Cambridge in 2017. This is a developing story and will be updated.
