Barry Throwing herself into her
new life in London, Monika Suchocka had found a job and joined a
choir. The 23-year-old trainee accountant had only arrived from
Poland two months before the bombings. She lived in Archway with
two other
Polish women and on the morning of 7 July was on her way to work
at an accountancy firm in West Kensington. The last contact she
had with anyone was at 0840 BST, when she sent a text message to a
colleague to say she was having problems on the Northern Line and
would get a bus. Friends distributed posters of her in an attempt
to track her down, aware she may have got on the Number 30 bus
which was ripped apart in Tavistock Square. But police said they
believe she was killed on the Piccadilly Line Tube travelling to
Russell Square. Growing up in Dabrowka Malborska, northern Poland,
Ms Suchocka did well at school and completed a masters degree at
the Academy of Economics in Poznan. Like many other Poles, she
came to the UK after her country joined the European Union.
Described by friends as generous and intelligent, she continued to
indulge her love of music after settling into her new life in
London, by playing the piano and joining a choir. Friend Tracy
Purdon said: "This was her first time in London and she was really
enjoying the excitement of it all." Ms Suchocka's parents and her
brother live in Poland and three Metropolitan Police officers
brought her ashes back to her homeland.
