Jack Merritt, from Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, and a woman were stabbed to death by convicted terrorist Usman Khan in Friday afternoon's rampage in the heart of the capital. Mr Merritt, 25, was a course leader for the prisoner rehabilitation programme, Learning Together, which had invited Usman, 28, to a conference at Fishmongers' Hall to mark the initiative's fifth year. The victim's devastated father David paid tribute to him on Twitter, writing: "My son, Jack, who was killed in this attack, would not wish his death to be used as the pretext for more draconian sentences or for detaining people unnecessarily. "R.I.P. Jack: you were a beautiful spirit who always took the side of the underdog." Have you been affected by the London Bridge terror attack? Email webnews@mirror.co.uk. He wrote that his son had been a "champion" for those who had "dealt a losing hand by life, who ended up in the prison system". He also tweeted: "Jack spoke so highly of all the people he worked with & he loved his job. "Thank you for your support. I know his colleagues are in shock- please look after each other at this terrible time." Paying tribute to Mr Merritt, a friend wrote: "David, I knew your son through Learning Together & I loved him to pieces - he was the sweetest, most caring and selfless individual I’ve ever met. "The warmest heart, always with time for anyone. Completely irreplaceable - I will mourn his loss greatly and honour his memory xxxx." According to his Facebook profile, Mr Merritt graduated in law at the University of Manchester and went on to study at the University of Cambridge. Before university, he attended Hills Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge. His Instagram page is filled with photos of recent travels with his girlfriend, Leanne O'Brien, and pals, while his Twitter feed contained a number of tweets that were critical of Tory government policies, including cuts to the criminal justice system. Mr Merritt worked at Cambridge’s criminology department and ran Learning Together courses for offenders in prison and in the community for those who were on release. As part of the programme, students based at Cambridge and students based in prison study together on university-level courses.
