Victoria and Timothy in casualty (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

victim

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'casualty' is the definition.
(both can mean someone injured or killed)

'victoria and timothy' is the wordplay.
'victoria' becomes 'vic' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'timothy' becomes 'tim' (I've seen this in other clues).
'vic'+'tim'='VICTIM'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for victim that I've seen before include "Casualty, oppressed person" , "One who suffered an attack" , "One made to suffer" , "Person who has suffered" , "Person who suffers accident or crime" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
