A Huddersfield honeymoon couple and their young son are among those waiting to be evacuated after a deadly terror attack in Tunisia.

Lee and Jessica Goldspink, of Cowlersley, are staying in Sousse with their two-year-old son and were among many guests locked in a hotel as news of the terror attack broke.

The pair, who married at Briar Court Hotel last month, are in a resort around three miles from the scene where 39 people were killed in the gun rampage. Yesterday it was confirmed that at least 15 Britons have died.

Home Secretary Theresa May said the British deaths figure was expected to rise as more information comes out.

Jessica’s sister Sophie said: “They were told on Friday night that Thomson have 10 planes which are evacuating tourists back home but they haven’t heard anymore.

“They have met another couple from Brighouse and were chatting with them as they all want the same thing, to leave safely.”

The killing spree by Kalashnikov-wielding student Seifeddine Rezgui targeted western tourists on the beach at the RIU Imperial Marhaba and the RIU Bellevue and only ended when he was shot dead by police. A bomb was found on his body.

Investigators have revealed they are looking for at least one more accomplice.

Thousands of British tourists have been returning to the UK after cutting short their holidays.

Scotland Yard said more than 600 officers were involved in what was its largest counter-terrorism operation since the 7/7 bombings.

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley, national policing lead for counter-terrorism, said 16 detectives and forensic experts were already in Tunisia to help local officers, with almost 400 meeting survivors at UK airports to identify possible witnesses.

He said: “Because of the scale of the attack, the numbers of fatalities and the international nature of it, it is likely that several hundred counter-terrorism and other police officers and staff will be working on this case for some time.”
