Teacher dies in Romanian attack | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
A County Antrim schoolteacher has died following an apparent assault in Romania. | |
Jenny Buchanan, from Greencastle, was visiting friends in the country at the time of her death. | |
Her husband, Dr Ian Buchanan, said they were informed of her death on Thursday. Dr Buchanan said he and his daughters were devastated by the news. | |
Mrs Buchanan worked at Glengormley High School and the school has paid tribute to a "caring and committed teacher". | |
The school said in a statement: " Mrs Jenny Buchanan was a valued member of staff for many years and had been head of our careers service since 1997. | |
"She was a committed, caring teacher who had excellent relations with pupils and colleagues. | |
"As head of careers, she advised numerous sixth years on higher education options. | |
"Although Mrs Buchanan had been on long-term sick leave, the school community is deeply shocked by this tragic news." |
