Sunday Times journalist Marie Colvin, who covered conflicts from Sri Lanka to Syria in her quest to bring stories about the world’s most troubled places to light, has died in a shelling attack in Syria. Easily recognisable for her black eye patch she wore as the result of a shrapnel wound she sustained covering the civil war in Sri Lanka in 2001, Colvin was known for focusing on the plight of women and children in wartime. She died alongside French photojournalist Remi Ochlik in the besieged city of Homs.
