A FORMER Kent schoolgirl is thought to have died been killed in the London bomb atrocities.

Elizabeth Daplyn, 26, was travelling on the Piccadilly Line to Russell Square on her way to University College Hospital, where she worked as a manager in the neuroradiology department.

But she never arrived and no one has seen or heard from her since. So far, she is not among the victims who have been formally identified.

Elizabeth, who was a former pupil at Fort Pitt Grammar School at Chatham, lived in Highgate, North London with her boyfriend Rob.

After leaving her school in Medway she went to the Kent Institute of Art and Design in Rochester before going to Oxford University.

She lived with her family in Watts Avenue, Rochester, until they moved away a few years ago.

Her uncle the Rev Tim Daplyn told the BBC: “My elder brother Michael, her father, says miracles are possible, but I don’t think we are planning on one in this case.

“It’s a long wait, but most of all, we just need now to have confirmed what we fear is fact.”

He described her as a “talented musician” who once appeared on the BBC quiz show University Challenge.

“When the bombs went off it was very confusing. My own children are up in London and everybody was trying to text each other to let them know that they were okay. But we never heard from Liz.

“She was very bright, and a talented singer who had a lot of friends. We didn’t realise she had so many until she disappeared.”
