Tunisia attack: how a man with a parasol could murder 38 people on the beach
On a late June day in 2015, a man dressed in black came strolling along the beach outside the five-star Imperial Marhaba hotel in Sousse. It was almost noon, the temperature approaching 30C.

The man’s name was Seifeddine Rezgui. He was 23 years old. He held a large parasol. The dozens of sunbathers paid him no attention. At 11.45am, he pulled out a Kalashnikov assault rifle that was hidden in the parasol, and opened fire.

Rezgui’s rampage is said to have lasted about 30 minutes. He laughed as he went, indiscriminately shooting as he made his way through the crowds, up the beach to the hotel’s pool area, through the building and back again.

By the time he was killed by Tunisian security forces he had murdered 38 people, and left another 39 wounded. Of those killed, 30 were British. All had booked their holidays through Tui, the owner of Thomson Holidays and First Choice.
