Sick ghoul tried to film London Bridge victim’s ‘mangled body’ as she lay dying naked in street
Social worker Christine Archibald, 30, was dragged under the wheels of Khuram Butt's rented van
A SICK ghoul tried to film the 'mangled body' of a London Bridge terror victim as she died in her fiance's arms, an inquest has heard.
Social worker Christine Archibald, 30, was dragged under the wheels of Khuram Butt's rented van as the ISIS fanatic launched his bloody rampage with evil Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba.
An inquest into the attack heard how Christine's grief-stricken fiance Tyler Ferguson begged a twisted onlooker to stop filming the carnage.
Bus driver Anton Sobanski said: "There was a man upstairs at the back and he was trying to film where Chrissy and someone - I believe it was Tyler - telling him 'stop filming'."
The inquest heard how Christine kissed Tyler and said she loved him before dying in his arms minutes later.
The pair had been out for a celebration dinner on June 2, 3017, before she was struck by the van.
She was visiting the capital for a short trip while Tyler was in the UK for work.
Mr Ferguson said: "We decided to walk over London Bridge. At one point Chrissy stopped me out of nowhere, gave me a passionate kiss and told me she loved me.
"Then the attack happened and Chrissy was killed.
"I then noticed a really large white Transit van on the pavement hurtling towards us,"
Chief coroner Mark Lucraft QC's opening remarks
"The lives of many people were torn apart by what took place in less than 10 minutes of high and terrible drama.
"I hope these inquests provide answers to the obvious and understandable questions that the families have.
"On Saturday 3 June 2017, a white Renault van containing three men was driven south across London Bridge.
"As the van drove across the bridge it repeatedly mounted the pavement and struck many people.
"Sebastien Belanger, Xavier Thomas and Christine Archibald were killed as a result. A number of others were seriously injured.
"The van then crashed into the railings outside the Barrowboy and Banker pub.
"The three attackers then left the van, each was armed with a large knife.
"It would appear the knives were 12 inches. They were tied to their wrists with tape.
"Each had items strapped to their bodies which looked like they were improvised explosive devices.
"They then indiscriminately stabbed people."
"I realised she had been hit by the van.
"She was lying on her back, her dress had been ripped off by the van, so she was naked at this stage.
"I remember looking down at her mangled body as she convulsed and released the physical life from her body."
Mr Ferguson said he had to "scoop out fragments of teeth" to clear his fiance's airway before performing CPR - but saw blood come from her mouth as he tried to breathe into it.
We decided to walk over London Bridge. At one point Chrissy stopped me out of nowhere, gave me a passionate kiss and told me she loved me.

"I knew in this moment she was dead."
The inquest is expected to examine why there were still no barriers to protect pedestrians on London Bridge by June 3.
Families will also want answers to the question of how Butt was able to plan and carry out the attack while under investigation by security services.
Another issue likely to be raised by lawyers acting for the relatives of the victims is the lack of security checks required to hire rental vehicles after cars and lorries were used as weapons in Nice, Berlin and Westminster Bridge.
In the coming weeks, the court will hear from witnesses, the family and friends of the attackers, and a senior MI5 officer.
Other evidence is expected to include CCTV footage of the attacks and the terrorists' movements, body-worn video from police officers and footage from members of the public caught up in the carnage.
The court will not sit on the second anniversary of the atrocity next month.
