A 10-year-old girl is among those killed in the Sri Lanka bombings which claimed 290 lives on Easter Sunday.
Manik Suriaaratchi and her young daughter Alexendria, were at a church in Negombo when they were struck by one of eight devastating bombs.
Mr Suriaaratchi's husband was parking their car at the time, reports 9News .
The family, who had lived in Melbourne, Australia, had returned to Sri Lanka in 2014 to "settle down", according to friend Lucien Pereira.
She said: "They are so beautiful, so helpful to everyone. They’re just not like normal people, they are so good.
"Since 2008, we went to temples together, their family and our family. Going to church, sharing dinner, kids stuff and all. They went back to Sri Lanka to settle down, I guess, around 2014."
It also emerged today that a British father wandered the streets in a bloody shirt after his entire family were killed in the Sri Lanka Easter terror attacks.

Ben Nicholson was on holiday with his wife Anita, 42, son Alex, 11, and young daughter Annabel, who have been confirmed dead.
He was seen walking the streets "covered in blood" after the atrocity, according to a medic at the emergency triage department in the National Hospital in Colombo, reports the Mail .
Pushpa Zoysa said: "I saw him covered in blood like this, walking up and down just there. He spoke to me twice, asking about his family.
"He was not running or crying, he was shocked. We wondered whether he was confused but he seemed in control. He just kept asking about his family members.
"He was walking around completely alone and I feel sorry for him but there were so many dead and dying people here, I didn't have time to speak to him more. Eventually he left."
